Moving air will tend to take the path of least resistance. So if there is path for air that is less restrictive than going through the radiator, some of the air will take that path. There are two basic solutions to this problem. One is to block off ALL the possible paths that air coming in the front can take except the one to the radiator. This should provide plenty of air flow when the car is moving forward. The other solution is, as mentioned before, an electric puller fan with a very good fitting shroud around it. That should help whether or not the car is moving.
