If you have a garage, take a mid-distance trip (20 miles or so) and then park it in the garage... after about 30-40 mins, you should be able to work on it, and everything will be heated/much easier to work with.

I must stress that you don't remove anything which requires a gasket until the engine is cold, though. Warpage could occur.
