That's the way I do most sports cars.  It was the only way that worked in the SAAB Sonett.  If I tried any other method of getting in, I'd get stuck halfway and need to reverse and start again.

Doesn't work in an Elise, though.  Sill is too high for me to bend my right leg far enough to get my knee under the steering wheel.
