I kinda just sit down holding my pleats in place.

For the REALLLLLLLLY long trips (>4 hours) I flip the back of the kilt up so it is sitting in the small of my back and sit on a towel. I make 16 hour drives fairly regularly so my girls can see their mother and I have yet to find a comfortable way to sit on pleats for the duration.
Sounds good !
I will try that !

Well I'm new at wearing the kilt and have not yet have to drive with one on yet. But I have two other problems. Dose anyone know a good way to get in a lifted vehicle? My Chevy Blazer sits on 44 in tires and its kind of a climb and does anyone know the best way to ride a motorcycle with one on, typically a chopper where your legs are a little spread open and your legs are almost all the way extended?

Edited out due to duplication when forums were being backed up.

I wouldn't advise wearing a kilt on a motorcycle. The lack of protection for your skin in case of accident isn't worth the risk.
Besides which, it ruins a perfectly good kilt! 
Stick to posing for kilted pictures on your bike like I do!

The only thing I'd add for longer drives is that once you'ge got the pleats comfortably positioned, sort of lift up your butt and resettle it to relax any tension on the kilt betwen you and the seat. That tension can cause stretching of the wool and putts stress on the stitching.
