    Well.....if I was at a shopping mall and people were watching to see how a kilted gent gets into a car I would feel sort of silly doing the towel thing.

    I have never seen a lady do a towel thing.....

    This is SO DUMB! Last weekend I was in Flagstaff and was IN THE CAR with these Scottish guys getting in and out of cars and I totally spaced and didn't pay attention!

    The next time I do this I'm going to try getting in like I am wearing jeans and sweep at the same time and see how that works. So far I have been doing a sweep, sit, swivel but it doesn't seem very natural...

    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.

    Which is one of the reasons I've not tried it yet. :neutral:
