I do most of my composing when I'm driving nowadays.... it must be the only time when my brain's able to disengage and let the melodies out. But sometimes I compose while sitting at the piano or with a guitar or bass on my lap.
I sing any time I drive, and it really feels awesome to exercise what I've learned in school. Alas, I'm in Philly, and I left my vehicle at my mom's house while I'm here, so I pretty much only drive when I'm on break. If I would just not care and sing everywhere, I'd likely be a far better musician for it! (and have far fewer friends) -Chuckk
