Sometimes I leave my block heater plugged in after starting in order to help warm the vehicle up faster. It's only for a few minutes. I don't know if it really helps or not, but on those cold winter mornings, I like to have heat in the cab right away!
Of course, on a diesel, it takes longer for the engine to warm up anyway. Also, the block heater just keeps the engine barely warm, just enough to aid in starting.
