I usually have the pet carrier on my knee in the car (with someone else driving) and a blanket over the top (helps keep it dark inside and less distraction from reflections, sunlight and flashing things going past the car so it is less scary). It sounds like she could have dislocated her hip - is there anything in the cage she could have got her leg trapped in? If it is dislocated I assume the vet will give a light whiff of anaesthetic and then pop it back in again. But you'll need to look carefully at her cage set up for safety issues - gaps between ladders and platforms, toys with chains etc. If you can post a photo we might spot the culprit!
