Well, if your phone drains battery fast all the time it produces heat. When you keep your phone in a pocket that heat won't go anywhere as your clothes insulate it and your body might heat it even further.

Solution = find out what is draining that battery, it is not normal. I'd say that normal idle power consumption is 20-30 mW, that would not heat up your phone much even if you wrap it into a pile a wool
