[Flieger]

I always have one of those tall stand-up fans close by me (since I like to be cool and don't want to run the A/C since I like windows open and it is cheaper) and I have that pointed at me when I have my laptop on my lap. I also keep my legs apart so that they do not block the air inlets/outlets and such that they are more underneath the little feet that the laptop is meant to sit on. It still keeps my lap warm but not burning. If I move the laptop and my bare skin touches the bottom or the air outlets it can almost burn me, though. Blue jean shorts are a must.
