Despite it being a funnel, you are less likely to be pulled into a tornado if you are below ground level. The wind tend to go over the ditch more than they go into it. Additionally, the ground around you can shield you from flying debris, the biggest danger in a tornado. Keep in mind, though that a ditch is only to be used as a last resort. If there is a sturdy building nearby go there instead.

A car is not a good place to be. If a tornado is coming leave the vehicle and go to a sturdy building with a basement or to a storm shelter. If you are in the open and the tornado is still distant try to drive perpendicular or diagonal to its path (depending on what the road allows) to get out of its way. If the tornado is drawing near abandon the vehicle and lie in a ditch or depression.

No. Taking cover in a ditch is to be done only as a last resort. The absolute safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement or cellar. If you do not have access to one your best chance of survival is still to be inside a sturdy house or building, on the lowest floor, in the smallest room you can find (typically a bathroom or closet).
