I'm not an "armpit" guy - I don't have long, tubular armpits ;-)
Instead, I put up my stand and pop a reed in to soak. Then I put the instrument together and wrap my big, warm hands around the octave-vents and trill-keys for as long as I can before I have to start playing - at least for five minutes. This also seems to help avoid water in the octave vents for the rest of the evening.

P.S., if anyone has a graphing thermo-probe, I would LOVE to know how fast the inside of a top-joint warms up when wrapped by hands, armpits or stuffed under one's woolly jumper!
