If you can't leave her in her crate for more than 5 minutes, then I don't think she's crate trained. You need to slowly work up to more and more time where she can be left in her create. Have you tried giving her a toy stuffed with peanut butter or something to distract her? You can freeze it to make it harder to get the goodies out.

Leave her for 2 minutes, and then come back inside and reward and praise her if she's calm. Then work your way up to 5, etc.

Unless she has serious separation anxiety, in which case you might need to talk to a behaviorist.
