To sit in a theater seat, try this: Sweep and begin sitting with the chair seat still upright. Press the back of your legs just above the knee to the edge of the seat, this captures your pleats in place. Now sit fully, using your weight and leverage to lower the seat to the horizontal position. Support yourself on your arms to control yourself if need be.I darn near broke my arm trying to get a folding theatre seat under me while sweeping my pleats - had to have my wife hold it down while do the sweep myself. Things like that are why I'll be panted some days while I visit The Mouse.
Sitting in theater seats like this I actually have LESS trouble keeping my pleats straight than if I sat in regular chairs with arms on them.
It works even in stadium seats, but be warned - if they are as steep as the seats here at Angels Stadium (Edison Field?) and the person sitting in front of you happens to look behind them, they wont have to ask the question, they'll KNOW.
