How about using this 5V 1A Switching voltage regulator ?   (http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-SW050.htm)
It has it's own heat sink....



Model:  	    DE-SW050

Performance: 	Up to 30V input range
                       83% typical efficiency, up to 87%
                       <2% ripple
                       1A output (continuous)
                       1.25A peak output (1 min)
                       1.3V typical dropout voltage at full load
                       Can be put in parallel

Applications: 	Battery powered applications
                     Robots
                     Point of load voltage regulation
                     Any application where a linear or LDO regulator is dissipating too much heat or a large heatsink is undesirable
