As the earth spins, so does the air contained within our atmosphere. If you can imagine, as the earth is spinning so is the pocket of air which surrounds the earth. Because the two are moving together at a constant velocity, in still air situations, no effect on a static object occurs.
To put it into perspective, a car travelling at constant speed will cause no inertia to a person within.
Do not confuse the fact that you feel the wind as this is when there is slight variation in speeds in the movement of air over the earths surface compared the constant spin of the earth.
