Do a search on the forum and you'll find lots of threads on this. Basically, you need to check the oil when the engine is cold (in the morning before you leave for the day) or after the car has had 30+ minutes to sit with the engine off.

You have 9 quarts of oil that have to work their way through the entire engine to get back to the sump for an accurate reading to be made.
