Wow, that is really slow warm up. Even my Prius gets warmed up enough to blow warm air on my 7 mile mostly downhill commute in the morning.

Do you turn your heat on immediately when you get in the car? If so, this will increase warm up times. Turn the heater to cold and turn the fan off and you may see faster warm up times. Do you have a scangauge to monitor coolant temperature?
