Scrape/cut away the burnt edges. Cut a piece of carpet from a hidden area and cut it to fit. Glue the piece in place.
This is a way to repair the carpet that was burned, take the fibers from an unnoticed area of the car, such as under the seat:

For the upholstery:
Repairing Fabric Car UpholsteryIf you have a burn hole in a nylon or polyester upholstery, then repairing it is easier.
First of all, if the damage is tiny or if you have antique fabric like in a classic car, then reweaving is a good option. This allows you to keep the original upholstery without having to repair any part of it. This is also the best option if you have plain tweed or any fabric that has a loosely woven thread. All you need to do is to trim the edges with small scissors. Then, use a matching thread, weaving from half-inch away from the edge and over the hole. Knot the thread on both sides and continue weaving until the burn hole is fully covered.
The second option is to glue a tiny patch to cover the hole in your car seat. This is a great option for velour upholstery because you just need to scrape the surface with a razor blade a little until you get some fuzz. You need to apply a drop of superglue over the burn hole and press the fuzz into it with the tip of a pencil. Use more fuzz until you have completely covered the hole.

Hi! There are repair kits available for both leather and vinyl. Good luck!
Door Vinyl Repair Kit at auto parts store.
Carpet trim out the burnt area and fabric glue in clean trimmings from a hidden part of the carpet.
Hi Nancy, I feel for you, I have had to repair these things before, if it is carpet on the door you can use the same method for both.
Remove any loose fibers by pulling on them with just your fingers
vacuum the area, then go under the seat or somewhere inconspicuous and pinch a section of carpet fiber together and snip it off without letting go of the pinch
put a few drops of superglue or crazy glue on the pot that is burnt and add those fibers you just snipped, repeat until the burn is invisible.
If it is the same fiber on the door, repeat the trick for the door repair
For a cigarette burn hole in leather seats, you’ll want to do the following:
1. For a burn that hasn’t totally penetrated the leather, you can remove the unsightly mark by partially cutting out the burn. Begin by cutting a cross in the burn approximately half the depth of the leather, then cut the burn out around the edge using a scalpel. If your burn didn’t go all the way through, you can skip to step five.
2. If the burn has gone all the way through, you’ll want to cut all the way through, leaving a resulting hole.
3. Repair the hole by using tweezers to insert canvas cloth behind the leather, making sure the cloth is perfectly flat and leaving about a 1/2 inch overlap under all edges of the hole.
4. Apply glue using a scalpel, paint stirrer or other thin object, pushing one side of the hole down to raise the other side up. Next, wipe the glue onto the underside edges of the hole and press them down. This process should be done to all edges. Let everything sit for 20 minutes.
