Sucks having to move your little noodle so close after eating but he should be fine as it's been at least 24 hours. I remember every time I've moved with Crowley he was always in shed mode but even while in shed it would take him a couple minutes and then he'd have his head sticking right up for the car ride. I'm pretty sure my little guy loves car rides because he wasn't balled up at all and just curious about his surroundings. As for your little Dexter I hope all goes well, moving is never fun.
