its just condensation that gets build up in the AC pathway. what your suppose to do is about 5 minutes before reaching your destination turn off the ac button but leave the fan on so that it will blow out the remaining ac in the vents and dry them out. so next time you won't get the smell..

Before you park the car, change the setting so it takes in fresh air, not recirculated air. This way, when your car sits all the moisture can evaporate from the system. The moisture accumulates and bacteria grows, causing the musty smell.
