I've always kept my windows cracked while my car is in the open sun and I plan to drive it again that day. I haven't measured temperatures, but it does seem to keep it a bit cooler. The inside of a closed car can me much hotter than the ambient temp. thanks to the sun.

I can't tell you how many times I wish I had left the windows cracked. My drivers side A-pillar has plenty of battle scars from me breaking into my own car with a wire hanger because I locked the keys inside. It's so easy to break into my car I don't even lock it anymore.
