Just a variant of 'in a moment' and I don't care how damn good and  
ready you are, that's just damn good and wrong, dammit.
"The doctor will be with you momentarily."
"Oh, I need to speak to him for longer than that."
OR
"We'll be landing momentarily."
"Why, isn't the runway long enough?"
Try it - it really annoys.
It even takes longer to say than 'in a moment' or 'for a moment.'
They only use it 'cos they think it sounds clever.
