The fastest way is to maximize conductive contact with the cooler floor. So she should lie flat (prone or supine) with arms and legs spread so as much skin as possible touches the floor, press gently to eliminate air gaps, and remove or loosen any insulating clothing.
Why: conductive heat loss ∝ contact area × temperature difference / thickness of the insulating layer, so the largest contact area and the least insulation give the quickest drop in skin temperature.
