I do not think there is any really effective answer to the question: for sitting be it in a car or chair will tend to rumple the pleats. Too one's own natural movements will disturb any arrangement over a period of time.

By the same token getting in and out of a car-a chair offers the alert observer the chance of a quick glance: but only the alert observer.

So I take a different view, and having taken reasonable precautions as to exposure and being comfortable: think enough is enough-lets get on with life.

Thinking that everything in this world has both advantages and disadvantages: and in the long run the advantages of the kilt far outweight any slight disadvantages.

Too whilst I cannot comment in respect of the various faux kilts: a traditional kilt will even after the longst journey appear smart, and any crumpling fall away after a few minutes of wear.
