Default Ruined dress pants when exiting HCHII

I've ruined several dress pants when I try to exit my HCHII when the cuff on the bottom of the left pant leg catches on the driver's side seat lever. Has this been a problem for anyone else? I've ruined the cuffs on a couple of expensive dress pants this way, now I am extra careful when exiting the vehicle.

Has anyone else had a problem with their pant cuffs catching on the driver's side seat lever?

Nope, but then I'm the one guy who's not bothered by the placement of the parking brake lever either.

its happened to passengers in my HCHII on the passenger side, there is a little piece of plastic that pants tend to catch on. The driver side isn't a problem because I get out carefully anyways since I don't want to scuff up the door trim

Never had a problem, but my dress slacks don't have cuffs. What's wrong with the emergency brake position?

I'm with you...I love the placement of the Ebrake lever! It's out of the way and allows for a nice big center storage compartment and perfect cup holders.

I haven't had the pant cuff problem, but I haven't driven my car in a suit, yet. I'll be careful!

Nearly all my pants (when I wear them) have cuffs. I have never had this occurrence.

I am sure it will happen today..

I am with you on the brake lever location, rubs my right leg.
