You could route a coolant line through a copper pipe in an insulated box filled with some sort of wax or something that melts at a few tens of degrees below the normal coolant temperature. The idea is to let the wax melt when the engine is hot, thereby storing heat. It then uses the heat for a faster warm up next time. You could also add some heating elements to the box and maybe a secondary circulation pump so it can warm up even faster when plugged in. A thermal solar panel is another idea, although that would be tricky to implement.
