The solution to this problem is a surprisingly simple one. As if by accident alone, Dean shifts to look into the back, putting his hand onto the back of the passenger seat that will remain empty for this right.
Castiel stares at Sam for a while, then simply transfers his grip. Dean might not be the stability that Castiel needs right now, but he's still important to him, so it's an adequate alternative source of comfort right now, and comfort is something that goes along very well with stability.
Castiel is not a child, but Castiel is hurting in ways he doesn't begin to understand. At some point, he might shed tears, but not now. He still lacks a certain grasp of what is happening.
After testing the waters for a moment, he finally nods. Yes, He can let go of Sam and wait for him to move around. He's not alone with his pain. Makes tentative eye contact with Dean in the rear view mirror. Sees protectiveness there, sees friendship and family, and knows all that also shines in Sam's eyes.
He has much and more to thank them fore, but for now, running towards them instead of away from them is all that he can somewhat bring himself to do.
