We live in Tucson now, so cold is rarely a problem, but when we lived in DC we did take their coats off in the car. We only had street parking, but we installed a remote starter in the car so I could turn it on from the house (when we were parked close enough anyway) and warm up the car. Then they'd either walk from the house to the car without the coats on, or if it were really cold or a far enough walk, wear the coat then take it off in the car. They'd put them back on when we got to our destination.
As far as the baby, I got her one of the Cozy Covers that goes over the top of the carseat carrier (shower cap style) and just dressed her in normal clothes, put a fleece blanket on top of her legs, then zipped up the cover and velcroed the face flap. Once we got in the car I opened the little window, unzipped the bottom, and took off the blanket. She was always way more comfortable than my oldest, who wore a snowsuit because I didn't know any better.
