Getting In and Out of a Car With Poise

The Queen of England and the Duchess of Cambridge have both been schooled in Royal Etiquette and part of that study is surely to know how to get in and out of a car with poise.


You don't have to be a Royal to know how to do it like a Royal.

Getting Into a Car:
Stand close to the car, facing forward.  Always enter with your bottom side first and swivel both legs in (knees together, please) at the same time.

Getting Out of a Car:
Before you open the car door, pull yourself together and make sure you pull your skirt down.  Swing both of your legs towards the exit of the car.  Open the car door as far as you can.  Place the foot nearest to the door on the ground while keeping your knees together.  Place the other foot on the ground.  Do this in one quick move.  Keep your head up and lift yourself from the sitting position to the standing position.  If you are wearing a mini skirt, hopefully you will have a scarf or a purse to drape over your lap as you exit.

Just remember to keep your knees together!
