I totally agree with Byprodriver.
If you simply but you back to the seat and sit down.
Put both feet in as you spin in the seat. This is much easier on the back.
I'm 60 and believe me it works. It also works well for my wife on the passenger side. It also keeps the left side bolster of the drivers seat from getting the normal wear spot.

Just my 2 cents.

like your wearing a skirt

the previous posts are describing the way you get in with a skirt on...hence the girl car comments. it is the best way to get in though.

Inspired by this thread, I decided to try and develop a new technic of getting inside the car.
The idea is to put the top down, and jump from the back.
Before trying it on my car, and risking damaging the trunk, I decided to try it first on my horse.

still need to work on it.

This technique might work better with a skirt on

If you think getting into your boxster is a challenge try this. (over 62 but still kite surfing)

I'm too big for my car. 6'3" and rapidly approaching 300 pounds. Sometimes I can manage the right foot in and just fall into the seat, but about 75% of time I bang my head. Now I've just given up on that entrance, until I drop some pounds anyway.

Now I get in head first. Like you're just grabbing something out of the passenger seat. From there it is a nice comforatble twist and I'm in with no brain damage and now I can pull it off smoothly so it doesn't just look like I'm a fat guy getting into a little car.
