[Avodah] maaariv-havdala before Purim

In many communities people leave a distance from the shul and so
megilla is some half to hour after shabbat and people drive to Megilla.
There seem to be several options not all discussed by poskim.
Any ideas?

1. Daven Maariv at end of Shabbat (Geonim time). There is a question
about making  havdala before or after the megilla. Since people will be
driving hoe and back it seems to me to make more sense to hear
havadala over the cup in shul or perhaps make havdala at home for the
family.
then drive to shul for megilla (again perhaps havadala after megilla)

2. Just make a lehavdil ben kodesh le-chol
drive home
make havdala at home for family
drive back to shul - daven maaariv (after havdala?) and the megilla
