Is there any reason that one couldn't buy a Radio Shack DC-AC inverter and simply plug it in? Or does a heating pad draw too much current? Any thoughts?

Yes it would draw too much, unless you got a really heavy converter, but there are 12volt heating pads available for in the car. Check with google...
