Mould does not happen immediately. Chance are your car needs a couple of days of air drying.that means windows open whenever you can have them open. Park the car in the garage with windows open wide and keep a fan blowing inside the car to keep the air moving.--that is what does the drying.2002 Pontiac Grand Am Spark Plug Gap?
first of all disconnect your battery so that nothing gets short cuircated ,boy thats gotta be a tough one to eat (experience speaking). I say get a portable dry cleaning machine and dont connect battery for about a week to dry to be sure that nothing gets short cuircated from possible water being inside car still.

If it was just last night I would get something to dry out the inside, dri-z-air is good to use it is a little black plastic container with little round white pebbles looking things. Leave it in there for about a week and it will suck up any moisture in there. If there is mold you will have to get it professionally cleaned as they have stuff that will get rid of it hope that helps.AAMCO transmissions ripped me off!?

You need to disconnect the battery until the car is dried out. Then you need to assess how much got soaked. Pay particular attention to the wiring and if this car has an airbag, it needs to be taken in for service as they could deploy. A good wet dry vac, along with some Damp-Rid, will help remove the moisture. You might have to make an insurance claim if the damage was a lot or the car was fairly new. Water and electrical circuits don't get along and this could cause a fire down the road. I'm not even worried about the leather at this point.What would cause my 04 Ford Focus to handle horribly?
open everything up and let it dry out...if the smell persists, you may end up replacing your seats. If that is not an option for whatever reason, stock up on air freshners.You could also take it in to a detailing service, see if they can help.
Whatever you do, don't park it in a dark garage. That is a sure way to grow mold. Hopefully it is sunny now. Wet vac whatever you can. Let the car sit in the sun during the day. At night, either drive or let the car run an hour or two with the ac on with the windows up. Ac removes water from the interior.
