What is confusing you is that you're thinking of the simplistic original

Big Bang model, rather than the modern Inflationary Big Bang model. What

the Inflationary model changes from the original model is that it adds
the concept of "Inflation", which creates an overwhelming expansionary
energy to the Big Bang, within billionths of a second after the BB.

The Inflation energy is so overwhelming that it expanded the Universe
out from smaller than an atom to approximately 85 million light-years by

the time of the CMB emissions, 380000 years later, meaning it expanded
*faster* than the speed of light. That means the universe expanded out
to a diameter of 85 million light-years in only 380,000 years, which is

224 times the speed of light!

When the Big-Bang model was found to be problematic, instead of
scratching off the idea, the patch-up work was done, resulting in a new
inflationary model. In this version, the numbers for the workings of
this system grew to the level of imaginary events, well beyond logical
comprehension. Back to the original model, I am still skeptical about
the initial expansion process. In the materialistic world, where
behaviors of matter in most forms of application are well experimented
and documented for future applications. However, when it comes to
applying this knowledge to the Big-Bang model its completely ignored.

The reason that the expansion can happen faster than the speed of light
is because it is space itself that is expanding, not the stuff in it.
The stuff in it just gets carried along with it. The speed of light
limit only applies to particles travelling from one point in space to
another point, however if the points of space itself are moving there's
no such speed limit.

The reason the original Big Bang model didn't get scrapped was because
it did explain most of the unanswered questions about the observations
seen in the universe. For example it explained the leftover Cosmic
Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), and its current temperature of
about 2.7 Kelvin. The only thing that it didn't explain perfectly was
why the Universe was lumpy. In other words, if the Big Bang happened at
or below the speed of light, then the Universe would be just a
collection of evenly distributed gas, and there would be no
conglomerations of stars and galaxies, because everything would be too
even. When they added Inflation into the Big Bang, they could make
individual quantum fluctuations in the gas stretch out to large knots
and gaps, which can then become stars and galaxies and voids.

For the universe that existed as a small entity, that was set to
expanding motion by extremely fast explosive force. During the first
fraction from the second of this event, there is bound to be a change
in order of the density and set the direction for matter to expand. The
following may be a most suitable illustration: The imaginary picture of
the big-bang universe should resample a Galaxy, having the hollow
center and the density of the matter is distributed unevenly, being
denser close to the hallow and thinning toward the edge. This is a
perfect example for the foot print of the motion set by an explosive
action.

The shape of a spiral galaxy forms over the course of millions of years,
which is pretty fast, but still not fast enough. You won't see that kind
of shape form in a split second, the amount of time that the Big Bang
happened.
