I've been doing the "right foot in, turn left foot, drop, pull in left foot," but will have to try this method when I exit hibernation.
As for exiting, I try to block unpleasant memories, but I recall swinging both feet out, bracing right hand on steering wheel and left hand on frame, then pushing/lifting myself up.
Body size definitely influences how you do this. The taller and/or "huskier" you are, the more difficult I imagine it would be.
Johnny Danger probably taught Speed Racer and Robin how to leap into the top-down car.
