Question on Shorts and Padding "creeping"

Got a question about cycling shorts. Anyone have problems with the padding creeping forward so that its not resting where it should be during your rides?
It seems that whenever I put my shorts on... even with bibs... The first 10 mins of my ride are great...but then after that, it starts to turn sour as I can feel that the padding has creeped forward and is not on my "sits bones" / where it should be.

Is all the padding in shorts the same width? I doubt my shorts are too large I have a 36 waist and wear "L" shorts. Could they be too small?
Anyone have ANY ideas what it could be? Any suggestions on "new" shorts... maybe gel? I have a pair of primal wear shorts and a set of bibs and shorts, unsure of mfg but they were given to me when I rode with "athletes for a cure". It gets to the point where it really takes the wind out of me and I am struggling to get through 30 miles because my a$$ is killing me.

Thanks!
