I took my phalaenopsis orchid to get it replanted after another errand
yesterday. I left it in my car while I went in (for about an hour). I
then went and got it re-planted. When I brought it home I noticed that
the leaves had dark green sections on them and were slightly limp. I
figured that spending time in my hot car was what hurt them. I hoped it
would heal over night, but it did not. I'm afraid I have really damaged
the plant because today the areas are browning slightly.

That's a Dendrobium, not a Phaleonopsis.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You'll lose the sunburned leaves, however you have new canes
that doesn't look fried and they'll be the ones producing new blooms.
