To get crayon marks off upholstery, first scrape excess crayon off with a dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Spray with WD-40 and let stand a few minutes. With a small, stiff bristle brush work crayon stain and wipe with paper towels. Respray with WD-40 and apply liquid dishwashing detergent on the sprayed area; work in with the brush and wipe stain away with a damp sponge. If stain remains, repeat the procedure. ..

What you need to do if melt the crayon, Usually you would use a warm iron, But try using a extension wire and see if you can reach the car. use either a iron or a hair dryer. take a piece of paper towel, and place it over the stain,then apply the iron for a few seconds, and remove, you should see the violet color on it, keep doing this until you have removed it all. When you finish use dawn for dishes and clean the residue that is left.

Get a brown paper bag and tear it flat. Get a regular iron, on low heat. Put the paper over the crayon and heat the paper and crayon. The brown paper will absorb the wax.
Start on a low setting and slowly try warmer temperatures until the wax gets pulled up. This is a trick I learned when I was an alter boy.
After the seat cools and dries, use some Murphy's oil soap and water and a clean cloth to get out any remaining wax or stain.

I don't know if this will work on car upholstery but I spilled candle wax on my living room carpet and I'm guessing its about the same thing. I used an old clean rag and laid it over the stain, then put a medium hot iron over it and ironed the rag. The wax stuck to the rag. It did a pretty good job. The wax was bright red too. When your done, get a good spot cleaner and try that too. Good Luck.

Whoa, hold it, before you do anything, call both the car manufacturer to find out what the fabric is, and the crayon manufacturer for help. Just going at it (especially with heat) may actually set the stain.
