I've also adjusted the way I get in the car even without any injuries. While I'm over 70, I'm a weight lifter and in excellent physical shape. To enter a car, I usually put one leg in, put my butt in the seat, and then bring in my second leg. Getting out, I usually twist around, put both feet on the ground, and push myself out. I used to own Porsches, and they were easier to enter. However, if you have the car for a long time, you eventually start wearing out the leather on the outside bolster by rubbing in when getting in and out. So I've change the way I enter on the BRZ to the reverse process of how I get out of the car -- I put my butt in first and then swing over both of my legs. My other car, and SUV, is still entered the old way. All I can say is that this works. This takes the stress off of my hips, but you need a bit more flexibility.
