Sorry for the old bump, but I want to re-visit this. Turns out that the Sports Import model I linked to above (along with another one they sell) is simply crappily made and they fall apart after a month.

Mr. Google offers some options, but most are blankets. Really looking for a decent heating pad (not a blanket) that can be used in the car. ScottC's warning about using a regular heating pad an an inverter has my shying away from that approach given that the fine print that I've seen on many DC-AC inverters suggest that they not be used for things that produce heat.
