Have you been checking your status on the phone or on the internet?
The internet status is usually much more behind than what you get from calling the 800 number. If your showing "EnRoute", then most likely your car has been on a boat for at least a few days, maybe more. If you call your dealer, they have the most accurate and up to date info, including the name of the boat that it is on.
Once you get the boat name, you can usually track it and find the schedule to see when it arrives to your nearest port.
I would start there.
The waiting does suck. I feel lucky compared to you though. I ordered my car 12/24/10 and it just got to the prep center at the port here in the U.S. I am hoping to get the car next week sometime.

The following website I referred to because I was new to all this stuff too and I found it very helpful with understanding the shipping and tracking process:
