There's no reason to warm the car up in cold weather. When I had my 300h work was 1 1/2 miles away and the car reached warm within a mile. 

Plus I believe it's illegal to leave a car running unattended. 

Sorry to pee on your bonfire. 

It's not illegal, especially if is parked on your own property and locked secure

It's not that clear cut...

Is it illegal to engine idle in a driveway?
The legality of idling on a private driveway depends on its classification as a road. 

The rules aren’t entirely clear. Annex 4 of The Highway Code states that references to ‘road’ “generally include footpaths, bridleways and cycle tracks, and many roadways and driveways on private land (including many car parks)”.

Hello,

If you live in London, you will get fined!

Also locking all the doors from the inside, can't really be done as you will find one door will always be open.

Most of us clear the winscreen and then drive off, old fashioned way, but I guess it works.

 

You could try locking all the doors with the driver side window open and then trying the remote fin to close the driver side window??
