By wrapping it tightly as you get in, the pleats maintain their form and you don't MANGLE them while driving. When you sit down, just release the sides of the towel and sit on it while you drive. No need to pull it out and take the chance of messing-up what you've just tried to prevent!

This is the ONLY solution that I've had for my thinner material kilts. The thicker, wool ones can benefit from the treatment too.
Wow, just what I needed. As a relatively new kiltie, I've been struggling with this problem as I try and get into my Tundra. With the higher seats (and no leather ) I've been frustrated. Gotta go get me an appropriate towel as my newest kilt accessory!
