You can't get out because your handheld and rubber duck radiates poorly in your automobile. You don't want to put a big antenna on your car and broadcast that you have an expensive mobile transceiver in your automobile.
Plop an MFJ UltraLite mobile magnet mount antenna on your car, greatly extend your range...and pull it off when you park your car and take away the thief's advantage to pick victims with antennas.
