Not only is being blasted with cold air quite unpleasant, that 0 degree air being blown across the heater core prevents it from warming up as quickly.

My car has the same feature where it doesn't turn the heat on until the engine is warm. I've found that I can get some fairlywarm air if I override it about 30 seconds or so before it would normally turn itself on. And when it's 0 degrees out, every second counts!
