It just takes practice. It also helps to do stretches frequently on your hamstrings and quads.
@baysailor: I would really like to see how you get in and out of this car. I have a friend that is 6'6" 170 (skinny!) and he had a ton of trouble getting in and his legs were too long and touching the steering wheel. He probably could have driven, but it would have been reallllllly ugly.

I'm a big guy, but short. Here's what i've had to work out.
In:
right leg in, on carpet
Duck head under door
Once seated, lift left leg in and go.
Out:
left leg out
Forearm on passenger seat
boost up with arm
Left leg to ground since i can't touch the ground if i just pivot sideways from the seat.
push out with arm until butt is on sill
duck head under roof
Pivot to a standing position
stand up with right leg still in car
walk away.

first of all, doesnt anyone here do yoga.. It makes a big difference in getting in and out of the car aside from the other obvious health benefits..

Haha. This is a great thread.
Not to mention the scenery is usually quit nice as well if you take a class.
