Poll: Where do you set your steering wheel while driving?
Mine is normally all the way in (then out just a touch) and down as far as it goes.
Well, over the weekend, I "Sonny Bono'ed" my hip snowboarding. Severe hip bruise.
Getting in and out, and pressing the clutch causes extreme paint.
Now, I had to move the steering wheel all the way up and out to allow myself more room to sit weird and take pressure off of my hip. It's kinda nice to have the steering wheel a little closer... When my hip is better, I'll have to experiment with wheel positioning.

I start by positioning my seat so that my <right> foot can fully depress the clutch
with a slight bend at the knee. Then I adjust the steering wheel so that I can just drape my wrist over the top of the wheel (elbows striaght)...
The wheel ends up pulled back almost a third of the way and pushed almost all the way down.

Wheel 95% down, and adjusted so my arms are straight w/ very little elbow bend. I
was taught that years ago @ Skip Barber. You want your arms straight so you can completely turn the wheel (with out having to take your hands off), and have your arms cross each other and the end of the turn.

Just for positioning.
Biggest problem I think most people have is that they drive too "gangster" (kicked back). By making sure your <i>right</i> foot can depress the clutch, you're assured to be sitting close enough to the pedals. It may feel too close at first, but once you get used to it you'll realize that you're in a better position of control-- <i>especially</i> if you're tracking the car.
