Does anyone else have this problem?

Recently, I had a thicker layer of ice on the inside than on the outside. This was because of a combination of weather (very cold, then freezing rain, then very cold again) and short local trips which didn't get the engine warmed up. Car sleeps outside, so leaving a window open is out of the question, and the only access I have to a heated (= above freezing) garage is a week in the middle of summer.
The coolant heater helps by reducing idling times when everything is frozen over, but I've recently found out that
idling may never give me enough heat. I've though about covering the windshield from the outside, but is it possible for cardboard or vinyl to freeze to the glass?
As for the inside, whenever I drive I just keep the air fan on max to push as much air out of the cabin as possible. And I hold my breath
EDIT: Covering the windshield with cardboard/vinyl will cover up my little solar trickle charger, just when I need it most
