Default Shakey idle

I have an A4 and while in gear at a stop the car seems to have a shake to it. The rpms seem to stay at 500 but sumpin aint right. It seems to be ok other then that. I thought maybe it was bad fuel, but I just filled up again and its still there. Its been raining for like a year here in Ohio so I cant drive it to much. Just whant to know what I should try first.
