You can't render/draw the car with the player already inside?  Is this
a
matter of having the player external to the car and getting inside?  If
so,
why not render the car without the driver and one with the driver? 
Then,
when the driver gets in the car you switch the car to a vehicle with
the
driver already inside and the driver becomes, essentially, invisible
but
maybe still represented by a rectangle in order to fix his location
for
later use or for, maybe, collision detection.
