In most cars that do have low roofs, seats are sort of always done this way it seems, as the Ferrari F355 I had the same issue, somewhat solved by doing that as well. The upright position is pretty much the preferred way in motorsports customs, but slightly reclined still, as long as all controls are still within operational reach and strength being ideal still, I've learned to cope in such cars like Formula Suzuki and Formula Atlantic.
^^ This.

I've always sat the way TuxedoCartman describes (NASCAR style is how I'd describe it) and have lately been discovering that newer cars seem to force you to recline or reverse the headrest.

Luckily for me, reclining the seat back only one or two detentes from my usual position is enough to make it comfortable for me.

I wish tilting headrests were more commonplace.
