The first time I tried it I almost fell down. Still haven't quite mastered it.
I don't agree. Everytime I let the wife drive and I get in on the passenger side, it is much easier.

Also I don't understand the reverse direction of the sweep. When I sweep the pleats, I sweep from my rear end towards my knees. right and/or left hand. The sweep, for me, is from the sewn down fell area towards the un-sewn down pleat area. The area that gets crumpled, again, for me, is the un-sewn down area which is generally below the upper thigh while seated.

Getting in on the passenger side is easier as the sweep, plant and swivel action tends to compress the pleats instead of open them.

Since I have "Captain" chairs in my new truck, I wonder if there is a seat swivel device available to turn the entire seat???? Of course for me I would also have to install the fork-lift option....
