Spot on advice EP.

Just remember that you need to brace the sides and back of the cockpit edges so you can put your weight on them when you climb out (click on the picture for video) -



It's actually much easier than my wife makes it look, ideally you just hoist yourself up and stand on the seat squab (still facing forwards), then step over the side.

The car is so low btw that doors wouldn't help with ingress/egress. They might even make it harder as you couldn't put your weight on them once they were open without straining the hinges.
