How to insulate around garage door?

I'm in a 4-year-old house with a 3-car garage. I'm using one bay for my workshop. The garage is unheated, but attached to the house. We have mild winters here (Seattle), but it does get down to the 40's in the garage during the coldest part of winter. I'm looking for suggestions on sealing around the garage doors to keep out drafts so I can be more comfortable working out there in the winter. The doors are 5-panel steel doors with a rubber weather seal at the bottom. When the door comes down into place it makes a pretty good fit around the sides and top, but it's just the face of the door resting (pretty closely) against a wooden jam. What can I add around the edges of the doors to prevent drafts better and still have no problems with raising and lowering the garage doors?
