Since you are saving the data, you must have a model attached to the form somehow, a modelform or not. So you can just use that model directly to get the values and render it in a template like you want.

The above suggestion would be possible, but since forms can be rather complex, it's probably not an easy task or worth the bother. Depends on how often you want to do this. But then it would probably be easier to create a filter for the model instead of the form.
