seat warmer

Chair heating element

A seat warmer is a heating element built into a car seat or other seating, providing warmth in cold weather: I turned on the seat warmer as soon as I got in the car.

The term also describes someone who merely occupies a position without contributing meaningfully—keeping the seat warm until a more capable person arrives.
