Just spent 5 minutes watching meineke service try to get into my ap1. He is like 350+ pound guy. Then another 5 for him to try and start the car. I finally came out and pressed ENGINE START...the look on him face lol. Yes, i know im a bad person.

 

Im 6'5''.. anyone else taller than me have a less clumsy way of getting in that I do now. Ive owned this car for over 3 years now and still havent found a smooth, non-awkward way to get my legs in and not looking like a daddy long legs crawling in and out of the car.

 

Not at all!

Arm down on your side on the door sill, use as lever to step out and over the bolsters

 

Like many have posted.

Perpendicular, facing away from the car...bend at the knees and aim for the seat cushion while missing the bolster. Rotate the hips and bring in one foot at a time in and underneath the steering wheel. I use the steering wheel for leverage/stability. Raise the left arm up and reach under the left arm pit for the seat belt and pull through. Exchange the buckle to the left hand and snap into place. Ignition on, check gauges and mirrors, then push the start button.

 

I step in and down in one fell swoop. Right foot on the floor, right hand on the steering wheel at the 11 o'clock position, and duck into the car so I am sitting in driving position, then swing my left foot in. When I get out its the same but reversed, put left foot on ground, and use steering wheel and right arm to elevate myself out in one fluid motion.

I've been told its a thing of beauty to watch me get into and out of my car, if you ever get the chance, you should watch me do it.

Fwiw, I tell girls wearing skirts to sit in it butt first and then swing their legs into the car after they're sitting.

 

Right foot on the floor then I kinda swing myself in while holding myself up with my right hand against the seat, then I sit down as straight as possible and finally bring in my left leg. Lolol, sounds messed I know.

 

Right foot in, sit, twist left foot in. Pretty much the only possible way for me because I'm 6'1 with a roll cage.

 

This is new to me: putting the right leg in first. I'm concerned about the "stretch" of the right leg in and the left leg still outside the car. I'll try it though. When you do it this way, you say you put your right hand on the wheel?

 

Yeah, I'll put my right hand at 3 o'clock and use the wheel as leverage to rotate my body in.
