Why static coefficient of friction is always greater than kinetic coefficient of friction?

Static friction is the force that acts against any applied force trying to put the object in motion.
Kinetic friction resists the motion of a moving object.
It is obvious that it is harder to get something to start moving than it is to keep it moving. This is because the static friction is greater than kinetic friction. Try to push your car...it is hard to push it to move, but it is not hard to push it once it is moving.
