I'm supposing ,"Be squared, rear to target sitting area, Bending slightly at the knees while still straight upright and very slightly forward of the target/seat, lower down until one can safely slide backward a few inches to assure the pleats go under the legs." ? ? Perhaps from that point one could effectively turn to be facing another direction while remaining seated.

A little trick I invented for entering my car with velour seats (velvet like, similar to corduroy) is to have a small, slick fabric cloth strip (satin, taffeta) and sit on it then turn. The wool or poly kilt pleats usually slide on the slicker, satin/taffeta type fabric rather than bunching up at every point of contact with the seat.
