Not a problem except when sitting in a car, when I have to scoot in sideways which makes the pleats all ahoo.

I have to get my rear end into place first, then do the sweep of the pleats.
Yes, Richard, I do that too. What irritates me ,is that no matter which way I sweep, there are pleats in the middle that always always get caught under me. Always. Everytime. I fear that my waist size may be too big, and that that is what is causing the issue. As in, excess pleat material or something. I may be wrong though. Anyways, basically, all the pleats to the left and right of the ones in the crotch area (using that as a reference point) get smoothed out very easily, no fuss. Go right down the legs flat, like they are supposed to. The ones relative to the middle/crotch area/middle of buttocks/however you wish to reference it, however, bunch up. The only way to get them flat is to pull the pleats outward on both sides, using the sides of the aprons. However, I find that this method results in me having lots of fabric going down the sides of my chair. I seem to be the only kiltie who has ever had this issue, so maybe the issue, lies with me, but anyways, that is the trouble I encounter. Does that make any sense?
