It's become kind of instinctive for me, so I actually
had to go out to the car to see how I do it.

I put the keys on the dash, and anything
else I'm carrying on the back seat, so both
hands are free.

I stick my right foot in the car like usual.

In this position I am facing mostly
forward, about 11 o'clock

I sweep with both hands and plop into
the seat a little forward of where I want
to end up sitting.

I'm still facing mostly forward at this
point , maybe even more than 11 o'clock
because my left shoulder has hit the
seat back, but my right is only an inch
or so from the seat back.

I push myself back, turn fully forward and
bring in my left leg all at the same time.

While the left leg is coming in, I lift the
pleats on the left under it so they don't
get caught in the door.

The whole process takes less than a
second, maybe a half a second.

The pleats usually aren't messed up at this
point. I can feel them under my *** if they
are messed up. If they are I usually just
grab the back hem between my legs and
give it a pull to straighten them.

Note: this is the process I use for a squinched
up little toyota. It should be even easier for
almost every other car since they are almost
all bigger. I can't comment on velour seats.
there may be issues with them. YMMV.
