Dakotas on ice

No, it's not what you think. We haven't seen 32 degrees in close to 2
weeks now, with no end in sight really. I seem to have gotten a lot of
water (windshield runoff) collected at the bottom front corner of my
left door. It's "inside" the door, where the sheetmetal curls in to
meet the body, and actually continues all the way along the door almost
to the back edge, tapering. I also have ice frozen all the way down the
inside of the inge area (not in the hinges but on the frame).

What's the best way to get rid of it? I can't get the truck into a
heated garage to thaw and dry. I've considered pouring hot (near
boiling) water on the block that's collected (and wipe up as much as
possible with a towel) but I'm afraid of a similar effect to pouring
icewater on a hot engine block. I managed to break the block loose with
a few hard slams of the door but I'd like something a little more
elegant.
