You're best insulating it as best as you can so the temperature in the case drops slowly rather than suddenly, then when it comes to warming it up, leave the case open for several minutes to acclimatise to the room temperature where you're playing and also keep the top joint warm by wrapping it in a flannel or cloth and holding it with both hands. This will lower the amount of condensation forming in the bore or blocking the 8ve vents.
If you're playing a lot in less than favourable conditions, either invest in an oboe with a plastic top joint or a completely plastic instrument instead of putting a wooden one at risk of cracking.
