Default checking oil level (engine warm or cold, after a start or not)

I have a 97 Accord. The level on the dipstick reads differently if I
check the oil in the morning when the engine is cold, then when its
warm.
Is it best to read the dipstick cold or when the engine is warm after
driving?. If I read it cold, should I start and stop it first to
distribute the oil a bit? Thanks
