Presuming it's the "cigarette plug" which goes into the vehicle socket? Has it always been plugged into the same socket?

It's probably a problem in the socket generating the heat, which you're seeing as a melted plug. Remember that the socket is designed to make something glow red hot - it won't melt too quickly.

Try disassembling the socket and checking for dodgy connections.
