Is there anyway (short of running the compressor) to avoid having that nice cool, comfortable outside air be warmed on its way into the cabin?

In a word, no. Not without some major and/or unique mods

It happens to me only in stop-and-go traffic. Once I get moving for a while the temp drops. I assumed that engine compartment heat was warming up the air ducts, but Fountainhead may be on the right track.
