Do Martial arts really help a Martial artist in real street like situations?

I am a martial artist from quite some years and this question still bothers me..........I feel that in a street you won't know who's gonna do what in his next move unlike in a Dojo where a certain set of moves are applied again and again, But that's not happening in a real fight......... Actually anyone can strike you with a stick from the back when you're not trained and prepared for that......So does it really work out the way it does in movies???? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE QUESTION- We in martial arts do warm-up and stretching before doing the actual practice.... When do we have time for that in a real life situation??, Also, I have noticed that I can hardly lift up my leg at home, But after a quick warm-up at the dojo, I can kick the fan into two halves.Meaning we (martial artists) are quite not ready for a situation without warmup........This is a genuine question which has had me thinking for over three years, So PLEASE answer with you're individual views.
 
I can assure you that ANY martial arts training will be of benefit in a street fight situation.

Will a martial artist be able to maintina compusure and do everything correctly? Probably not. But the whole reason that we practice is so that our moves become second nature.

Before I learned martial arts, I was pretty pathetic in how I would go about "punching". After only a year of training, my fighting skills improved dramatically. Heck, after only 6 months of training they were so much better.
