I'm fairly sure this dilemma has been discussed here before, and I bow to the experts before adding my tuppence...
After 50 years of regular kilt wearing this is how I address the matter. I begin by standing with my back to the open car door and the backs of my calves touching door sill. I sweep the pleats down from bum to knee on both sides simultaneously whilst lowering said bum down onto the seat. Once down I pivot and swing my legs up into the car. The pleats usually hold their flattened position under said bum during this maneuver. Settle and adjust, as necessary once a comfortable forward position is achieved.
I have always found the kilt to be an exceptionally comfortable garment to drive in. Especially on hot summer days with the AC on full blast and directed to it's most advantageous location.
