bleach and water will do it, i don't know if it will damage of fade the seat material.
If you park it in sun light it might help
Steam will kill it but you have to make sure you dry it out perfectly
Lysol will work most of the time

color safe bleech will probably be fine, as well as about any soap/detergent that is antimicrobial (regular hand soap triclosan wont cut it though)

don't use bleach. go get the small tub of the oxi clean powder. use that i cleaned a set of del sol seats that sat outside for about 4 months and they looked great afterwards.

I'D figure out why you have mold in your car in the first place. then try to figure out how to get rid of it. or else its just gonna come back.
