One way to keep the pleats neat when getting into a car is to take a piece of silk, satin, Rayon, Cire - anything slippery, large enough to cover the pleats and wrap it around your rear fairly tightly just before sliding into the seat. When you get out just slide, collecting up the fabric and leaving it in the door pocket handy for next time.
