I would imagine that the stories are urban legends, as it doesn't sound very likely. WAY more likely that the snake just slithered away or was picked up and eaten by some animal.
Also - I have found from experience that sometimes when something that you're scared of actually happens, the reality is nowhere near as scary as your imagination. I used to have an old car that I parked outside. One day I found a huntsman spider on the head rest. DH killed it before I had the chance to really register what had happened, but after that, I would always check the car before getting in to make sure that there were no spiders in it. One day I must have been in a hurry and not checked because as I was driving a saucer-sized spider crawled along the windscreen on the inside. I was terrified, but managed to keep driving until I got home, carefully got out of the car, and then got someone else to kill the spider. Anyway, the moral of the story is that I was always so scared of exactly this thing happening, and when it did, I just dealt with it. So, as everyone said, it is highly unlikely that there is a snake anywhere in your car. You are more likely to get kidnapped and impregnated by aliens than a snake crawling into your car, but on the off-chance, I am sure that survival instinct will kick in and you will do what has to be done. I don't know that much about snakes, but I hear that the vast majority are actually harmless (like spiders, they look freaky as hell, but most are not poisonous). If you're still unsure, maybe have someone else come in the car with you.
