Turn the heater off mate ;)

No, seriously, unless you are driving along the motorway it's just not burning enough fuel to get warm, you can try screening the radiator if you like, either wrap a carpet over the grille or slip a sheet of hardboard in fornt of the radiator itself, keep an eye on the gauge.

Chances are the heater is sapping all the heat straight out of the engine though.
