You can lay acetylene down bet even for a short 20-30 minute short trip, I would let it sit for at least an hour before use. The place I go has one that is cut in half. The inside is totally filled with a porus material.
I made a carrier out of wood that I put behind the passenger set of the car. I set the cylinders in that and tie it up and wedge it in with the front seat. It is not moving anywhere and it is better than having them in the trunk. I don't have a truck so I do the best I can.
The thing you have to remember with acetylene is that it is heavier than air so can settle in low areas. I usually drive with the window open and drive straight home.
