If your water heater has the capacity, running the shower at
it's hottest setting will dump a lot of heat into the room
fairly quickly, and heat the surface you're standing on, too.
I find that if I turn the shower on first thing as I enter
the bathroom, and pull the curtain, by the time I actually
get INTO the shower, the stall is a fairly comfortable.
If you need better than that, I think you're going to
have to start heating the bathroom all the time.
Or let someone else go first.
