    Yep. Exactly. I do this especially if I'll be traveling any good distance. For a short hop I may not fuss about it, but if it's going to be an hour-long trip or more, I try to get as comfortable as I can, and ensure that the pleats will stay in good condition when i get there.

    Somewhere Ham had a thread. He does the back in move only sits on a padded lazy susan type thing that's on top of the seat, then he just swivels around on that.

    I've developed a technique of smoothing my pleats and sort of falling into the seat (sedan). After I'm in place I lift my tail end of the seat and sweep the pleats into place.

    With a 16 ounce wool kilt its a matter of comfort only. Can drive six hours and the pleats will not crease even if they're folded under there.
