Will an impounded vehicle be turned to the lien holder?
Not unless the lien holder goes and retrieves it from impound themselves. The reimbursement of government fees (federal, state, or municipal) outweighs the priorities of the lienholder. When a vehicle goes into impound, the agency which impounded the vehicle puts their own lien on it, and that lien takes priority over the original lien. If the vehicle is not retrieved from impound, it will be auctioned off, and the lien holder basically gets shafted in the process. The person who took the lien out on the vehicle will owe the remaining balance still, and one of the money the agency auctioning the vehicle makes will go towards reducing the amount owed to the lien holder. To that end, you're better to let the lien holder repossess the vehicle and auction it, rather than have it impounded.
Can't afford to take car out impound CA?
Eventually the state will auction it off to recoup their costs. If you have a lien on it currently, the lien holder may take it out of impound and auction it - the state recovering their costs takes priority over the lien holder, and the lien holder will lose all claim to the vehicle if the state auctions it off. Either way, the payments for the vehicle will remain your responsibility.
Can the lien holder take the car form the impound before the 30 day hold is up?
While I am not familiar with this "30 day hold," but the lien holder of a vehicle may take possession of the vehicle at any time after the loan has been defaulted. That is if you the borrower go delinquent on payments, and the vehicle is impounded (potentially for parking violations or excess unpaid tickets), the lien holder will receive notice. Actually they receive notice of impound even if you are not delinquent. If the lien holder pays the outstanding impound and storage fees, they may take possession of the vehicle.
How can you lien holder reposses car if car was impounded due to buyer lost drivers license?
As the lien holder of the vehicle, they are contacted by the proper authorities that their asset (the said vehicle) is at an impound lot accuring fees. Because the lien holder is in essence the true owner of the vehicle until the loan is paid off & the lien is released, they have the right to reposses the vehicle from the impound. This is in the best interest of the lien holder because if fees add up, it may not be worth picking up in the end. What many debtors do not realize is that if they do not redeem the vehicle from the lien holder once it is picked up from impound, the vehicle is sold at auction to the higgest bidder & that is in turn applied towards the debtors deficiency balance.
If a car is impounded and they are put in jail with the car in their name and you as the lien holder what should you do?

The lien holder is a person or business who have a concerned interest in a vehicle. Most times a bank or finanacial institution. You need to find the lien holder which is located on the title or can be found be contacting your DMV and giving the VIN and then finding their phone number, I would try calling information.

What is an auto lienholder?
A lien holder is someone who has a financial interest in a car. It could be the bank you financed it from, or someone else who the car owner owes money to. The car owner's name is on the title with the lien holder's name so that you can't sell the car without the lien holder signing the title...this means that you don't owe the lien holder any money on the car. The car is now 100% owned by the title owner.
