Nick - what I really need is a removable steering wheel. Right now I think I have the steering wheel too far back also, which interfers with your approach. I've left it alone for now until I get the rest of it figured out.

I have kind of practiced an entry form. I lean over and brace my right arm on the transmission tunnel and left and bend my right leg and drag it under the wheel and put it down as I swing my butt in and try to keep from literally falling the last few inches into the seat. Then I draw up my left leg and pull it in. The exit is not as well coordinated however. I may have to work towards your approach.
