    Not too long ago in the middle of the night I was awakened by my spouse. Apparently our neighbor had asked us to help move some things for a minor family emergency. So I quickly threw on a pair of very old work out shorts that happened to be laying on the floor (they were Nopes) and tucked my nightshirt in so that I looked kind of, sort of, presentable. Well, my job was going to be driving the truck. As I got in I immediately started to sweep the missing pleats under me. Habits sure do get ingrained.

    I rely on a combination of the technique recommended by Ham but I also incorporate a slightly wider stance just before sitting or sliding onto a stool, which expands a few of the pleats to allow the material to drape more easily. I think it is subtle enough to not be noticed, at least no one has said anything like "Hey, did you see that guy in the skirt take a slightly wider stance?" :grin:

    I think it's a lot like fly fishing...the basic steps are the same for everyone but you find your own technique that works for you.

    Re-reading that I hear the "rim-shot". Pardon the pun

    I found I had the same problem with the apron. I just do what Cavscout suggested. Spread my legs a little just before I hit the seat and push down on the apron.

    I do the "pleats-sweep" all the time when I wear p@n#$! Old habits die hard, I suppose.
