It is unlikely that a stray window that he had to jump over would be lying on the route to his car.

I can't think of any contexts like that — except the most bizarre ones, to wit:

Workmen were about to install a window in a house. The window and its frame were taken out of the delivery truck and placed on the ground in preparation for the installment. The window was lying horizontally on the ground. "He" escaped by jumping over the window and into a car.

You could say that he jumped over the window sill, but in that situation it would be more appropriate to say he jumped through the window.

Here's a picture of a window with a plant on the window sill.
