The reason I pulled it is that I was sitting in the seat wearing a seatbelt and it is in a holster in the back of my pants. I deliberately kept it out of sight, but by the time he got to the car, I never would have gotten it out before he could get in the car. I'm going down to the gun shop to pick up a more practical holster so I never have to do that again.

I understand why you drew, and you did well to keep it concealed.
When I carry, which is seldom. I use a right side "pancake" belt holster because I am right handed. I usually wear a jacket in cold weather, or a photographer's vest in warm weather. I am slim and the pancake holster conceals my 4" barrel 15 round 9mm S&W auto OK. However, I face the same dilema when I am driving and belted. The seatbelt/harness goes right over my holster and makes a rapid draw impossible. I have considered switching to a left side pancake where I can do a cross draw. I would use an under arm shoulder holster except that I am so slender that a very noticeable bulge can be seen.
It is hard to come up with the right holster for every situation. Generally, folks that carry a Kel-Tec are using it for deep concealment, which does not allow for quick draw.
