Well, the first and most legal way is to clearly state to the Police Officer "I do not consent to any searches of my persons or property." at this point you've enacted your 4th amendment right.

However, if the Police officer sees something illegal, smells something illegal, or has strong reasonable suspicion supported by facts to believe that there is something illegal in the vehical, he may search it. He may also search you or the vehicle if you're later arrested.

Just be wary that an officer may be suspicious of you after you enact your right. However, his auspiciousness is not grounds to search you or your vehicle.

Secondly, if you're requested to exit your vehicle, close and lock your doors and take your keys with you. Once you take your keys place them on the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT put them in your pocket.

Police at this time may perform what is known as a Terry Stop or a Stop and Frisk. Where they pat you down to check for weapons or anything dangerous. Police cannot reach into your pockets and they cannot arrest you or ticket you for failing to allow them to search your persons or property.
