Two possibilities. Do you have any automated tasks like TimeMachine running? That can kick up the fans while it's backing up. Also. my wife sometimes likes to set her MacBook on the couch when she's using it which sinks in a little bit. The insulating attribute of the couch surface plus the partial blockage of the vent area in the back will make the fans kick in as well.
