Adiabatic compressions actually occur in the cylinders of a car, where the compressions of the gas-air mixture take place so quickly that there is no time for the mixture to exchange heat with its environment.

If the system is in contact with a large temperature reservoir and the process occurs slowly, the system is always staying in equilibrium with its environment, keeping the temperature constant. All the heat the enters the system which is free, the heat added will go into the work being done by the gas at it expands.
