I bet it's not this hard getting out of a Porsche 
I think I put my left hand on the body of the car, near the top, but I honestly don't remember for sure.

This is a stupid thread but I will chime in anyway. I put my left hand on the black knob used for the door crash safety mechanism. It is black and about 1 inch in diameter, about 2 inches above the sill, and makes a great handle to push off to make a graceful exit from the car. I still have not found out a way to make a graceful entrance though.

When exiting I generally put my left palm in that exact spot shown. Putting weight on my left hand and my right foot (with the right hand on the wheel), I kinda lift myself over the bolster, onto my left foot.
I taught my g/f this method and she now looks a lot more graceful entering the car.

+1, but I usually don't take the door completely off...
Left hand goes on the door sill. Right hand goes on the center console. Lift body UP and over the bolsters, step out w/left leg, transfer weight to left hand on sill, step out of car w/right leg.
Look for me in the '08 Olympics, competing in Pommel Horse

Another vote for push myself up off the doorsil. Don't want to crush those seat bolsters. It is a PITA if have have a bunch of shit and I'm trying to get out of the car- keys, iPod, sunglasses, bag, etc. Only have two hands...
