Coming from under the car around the front door area? Maybe a bad flex pipe? Does it sound like you have an exhaust leak when driving? Doesn't really sound likely that you would feel hot air blowing on your legs or something while standing beside the car where an exhaust leak would be though i could be wrong. Maybe stand beside the spot where your having the hot air coming from and have someone take a rag and momentarily plug the tail pipe and see if it gets any worse or just take it to a shop where they can put it on the hoist and check it over for exhaust leaks.

probably just the radiator fans are working and blowing hot engine bay air/exhaust radiant heat towards you. if the cars still quiet its most likely not an exhaust leak
