Interesting. The car on the pic is a Tiptronic. Could it be that the right leg carries less body + leg weight onto the floor (exerting higher load onto the right butt side) than the left leg? Since the left leg is rested on the floor, its weight doesn't put as much load on the left side of the butt. This would be also valid for manual shifter cars as the right leg still does more work than the left one, especially for mostly highway driving without too much shifting when the left leg can be rested on the floor. Just a hypothesis.
