Honda CR-V - Burning rubber Smell - TTToommy

I drive a 2005 petrol automatic - quite often when I "hang around" outside the car rather than walking away from the car after a journey I do smell something akin to the burning of rubber tyres.

Mentioned it at the last service but ofcourse they smelt nothing - its been like that for a couple of years- I sometimes believe its worse when I've driven uphill on very wet /muddy roads and think its something to do with the rear wheels kicking in - but honestly have never felt the kick of the rear wheels so not really sure about that.

any ideas?
