Action vs reaction the bad guy will always have the advantage IF they get to your window, weapon ready. If you are concerned about quickly reacting to a robbery or carjack, practice drawing from you concealed position while sitting in your car. Like everything, repetitive conditioning will promote muscle memory.
Trust me when I tell you that if you ever have to deal stress of a shooting situation, your going to forget and it's important to keep things simple. Focus on the firearm and method of carry you chose and not on guns discreetly concealed around the car. If you method of carry isn't comfortable when you drive, find a different mode of carry. IMO your firearm should only be secured in your vehicle when you are going to be at a place where it isn't legal to carry concealed.
I've had a few friends with the same issues you are having. It's amazing how inducing a little stress on them made them forget about the guns holstered between the seat, in the drivers door or some other location.
I've used simunition guns to drive my point home (that stress thing I mentioned). Even telling them "at some point during my contact with you, I'm going to shoot you". When they react, usually some confusion occurs because they are trying to think about which gun to reach for. The point of that particular exercise was to judge reactions, not winning or loosing.

Not to speak for OP but I take mine out of my holster since I carry mine appendix. It is easier to take it out and have it more readily available in case I am seated with my seat belt on.
Also not to mention, it is uncomfortable driving.
