I would image its the diff locking and both wheels turning at the same speed. Obviously the diff should allow the outside wheel to turn faster and stop the hopping.

I did think could it be the diff. Would cold weather have an impact on operation?

It's deffo a 4x4 thing. Not sure if its the front diff not letting the outside wheel to spin fast enough or the centre diff not allowing enough slip between axles.
Series Land Rover's are really bad for it in low box. Coming out of a field onto tarmac still in low range and they'll almost bounce on full lock. Ok in the mud as the wheels can all slip to suit.

I don't think that the "grippy" surface they put on some car park ramps helps either

Happens to my D3, each time it’s cold enough. First time I thought I’d hit another car I was crawling around to exit a parking space. I’d be really interested to know if it occurs with winter tyres....

Be interesting to know how many experiencing this have fitted spacers or otherwise altered the cars geometry with wider wheels or different offset
