I then tried to sweep it down as I tried to lift my behind up. It's work. Ugh. Needless to say I stayed put the whole time except for a visit to the boys' room. Oh, also when they asked the gents to stand up to toast the lasses. Alas, the pleats will still need some pressing.

Mein, I always carry a satin cloth, kind of like a handkerchief, in my sporran just for that situation. I guess it would be a bigger issue with box pleats.

Anyway, the satin slides real well and if you use the "sit sideways and turn" approach it works most times.
