Plugging in the block heater will help some... This is a key reason why Ford offers the Supplemental Heater for the 6.7 equipped trucks. I wish I would have gotten both the supplemental heater as well as the heated seats. I blame the heated seats issue on the ignorance of my dealer which believed that when you bought a turck with the Lariat options, it would come with the Lariat Interior..
Not sure what closing off the front is going to do for warm-up.. If the thermostat is shut, there won't be any circulation through the radiator.

Drive it... As I found out that supplemental heater, heated seats, and steering wheel is awesome. My tuck heats up faster than my wife's car does. Because of the supplemental heater a remote start will help get the interior warmer, but usually I remote start it as I am heading out and once eveyone is in we go. Within a couple of miles I am turning down the heat.
If I let it idle, the motor won't warm up and isn't contributing to the warm air coming out of the vents.
Probably your cheapest solution at this point is a 12V heated blanket to sit on.
