You have another holster, right? Take it with you. Take the gun out of your shoulder holster and put it in the other holster in your car. Reverse the process when you return. I'm assuming that you now do all the unsnapping in order to have the protection offered by keeping the pistol in the holster. Otherwise, just take the pistol out of the shoulder holster and leave it in the car.

I don't care for the paddle holsters. I have a tendency to take them off while in the car. The one time I needed my pistol while in my car, my fingers hit the butt of the pistol and pushed it further away from me. Since then, I use holsters that prevent me from falling into bad habits. In my view, the ease of taking them off is not desirable.
