Ease off the gas slightly to "trick" it into the higher gear and see if it stays in that gear (unless you boot it of course).

I know mine, the kv6 auto, when I leave the allotment, which is on a quite steep hill, will not get out of third until I reach around 2,500 revs and have taken it as normal because the engine, and therefore the oil in the auto box is also cold. I can trick it when it is warm to change up early by just lifting off the throttle slightly, also normal.if you are saying that it will not change up even when it is warmed up, then there is a problem. Everyone drives differently, so it may be that you have a heavy right foot? This will inhibit the box changing up.
