When you say it happens when putting it in dirve or at a stop sign, is
the car actually moving at that point?  If not, then it might be a
belt is slightly loose and making the squeal.

If the car is moving, it is likely some brake dust making the squeal. 
If you had your brake pads replaced with "lifetime"
semi-metalic/ceramic pads, they are also empirically "known" to squeak
more than softer pads. For your wife's peace of mind, take the car
back to the shop and tell them that the brakes they replaced are
squealing and have them diagnose the problem.
