The typical advice for cars in storage is it is best to start them and let them warm up occasionally, every two weeks is ideal. Run an automatic transmission through its available gears. Let the car move a bit in its parking space or driveway. This will help keep the various seals from drying out. This is mostly for classic cars that get very few annual miles. Today's cars can take a month or so sitting as its owner is off on vacation or a business trip.
My car isn't really a classic (yet), and leaving a car idling for 10 minutes is a bit asocial here. So I'll plan a trip every 4 weeks, if its unused in that time. The current government directives allow me to do that.
