Kilts and Cars (or Trucks, as the case may be)

Someone (possibly McMurdo?) mentioned recently that he uses a towel. Basically, wrap the towel around your rear to hold the pleats in place and sit down normally.

Freaking stroke of genius. A+

It might work for some - right person in the right car - but I don't think it would work for me. I have also heard plastic shopping bags mentioned. Rather defeats the idea of having leather car seats if you end up sitting on plastic or terry towelling.

If you'd like to upgrade my seats to leather I will not stop you...

Corey, I forgot to mention- I'm almost as big as you. I'm 290. I sometimes sit on my fingers and crush them trying to sweep my pleats when I get int my car....

The first time I got into a car waring a kilt, I sat down behind the wheel of a Mazda Miata. I'm 5"7" and 215. Not much of a challenge you say and likely with reason.

First if the passenger door had not been closed with my wife buckled in she would have fallen out of the car laughing. I said something about that process being born in the genes in her case and went back to tucking myself in. There was a large lump under my ***, but you all know about that from experience.

What I've learned over time is to cup the back of the kilt with my right hand an execute the standard controlled fall into the car. It works mostly. In Janyary I still get a chilling surprise from time to time from the leather seat.

I would guess that cupping the back of the kilt, palm flat toward the back of the thigh will help. Good luck.

Getting into my truck. Right hand sweeps the kilt (like sitting in a chair) while stepping with the right foot and right cheek is placed on the front corner of the seat. Slide into seat then lift left leg in to truck. Now both legs in, lift butt and do double hand sweep and last minor adjustment of the rump. Sounds complicated but is actually all fairly smooth one motion to the next. Like every one else has said. Practice and be aware. Soon you get in and not have to think about it.

I have a truck as well - I am of the step on the running board, butt in and sweep persuasion. Seems to work well. In my wife's car however, I have a bit of a drop before I hit the seat and this can mess up the sweep part. I sometimes find I have to do a rather inelegant reach between my legs and pull the pleats out so they don't bunch up under my butt in a very uncomfortable manner. I might try this belt sweep thing however. Seems like a simple solution.
