I hang my stuff in our coat area, discreetly on the far end of the rack.
I've found that if it hasn't dried out by the time I ride home at the end of the day, I was wearing too much for the ride in. You may want to back off a bit. I find my balaclava to be too warm if temps are above 20 degrees. Between 20 and 55 I just use a head band to cover my ears. My neck is a little cold at first until I warm up.
Make sure you're a little chilly for the first couple miles. If you're toasty when you leave the house, you'll be soaking wet when you arrive at work.
