Thoughts:

There are some situations in which you should probably leave your car:

1) If staying in your car leaves you in immediate danger (you don't want to be stuck in a flash flood)

2) You have a specific destination in mind that you can walk to and probably get help.

Otherwise, being in the car is probably better than not.
