It is about the flux. If you are storing heat, you will feel hot. If you are loosing heat, you will feel cold. Temperatures almost don't matter.
Take a steaming hot shower, when you're done get away from it, you will feel cold even though your place is ar room temperature. You're actually loosing some heat.
Take a very cold shower, you will feel hot because you're storing it.
If you're close to not loosing neither storing, you will just feel neat.
Putting your foot outside the blanket just makes you store less heat. Plus yes feet have a lot of blood flows that helps the thing.

Not really. When you get out of a hot shower and move into another room you feel cold because there's a lot of water evaporating off your skin, taking latent heat with it. Also, if you have ever been very cold you will know that just sitting in front of a fire doesn't immediately make you feel warm; even though you are warming up straight away it takes time for you to feel warm.

It's biology
Cutaneous skin is bad at heat transfer.
Glabrous skin is good at heat transfer.
Any other explanation is wrong.
