This is the exact reason the owner's manual was invented.
It's all in your manual. You need only read it to find the treasures within.

You could do what many other drivers do: toss papers, old letters, rubber duckies, etc. up there. That should block the vents nicely and give you some incredible reflections off the inside of the windscreen on a sunny day.

If you would only look at your vehicle configuration indicators occasionally, you'd notice there are lights to keep you informed of vehicle status, as posted in the pictures above by @Hot Runr Guy and @Glen Baker LLC.
When you open the door after shutting off the vehicle, it thinks, and rightly so, that you wish to exit the vehicle and so turns everything off.
If you want the radio to stay on after you open the door, place ignition switch in ACC first.
ACC is on a timer and will shut off after a while.
