How do you deal with movement?

I used to carry with an Uncle Mike's IWB holster and it was great. One thing I didn't like is having to adjust it whenever I stood up or sat down. To get away from constant adjusting, I went with an IWB that has two clips. Pretty much the same design as the Comp-Tac CTAC. What's great about this is the holster stays in place no matter what I do. The down side is when I get in my car, it is digging into the bucket seats and pushes forward. I can't sit comfortably. Do I go back to the Uncle Mike's style IWB holster? Do I de-holster every time I get in my car? How do you deal with this?

You may be carrying too far to the rear. I normally set my holster position just far enough to the rear for the butt of the gun to just "barely" touch the seatback while seated or driving.

Or maybe you need more forward cant. I have 4 different brands of IWB holsters, 3 with adjustable cant. I carry around 3:30-4:00. My gun just makes contact with a seatback when I sit/drive. Or maybe you need a new vehicle with different seats. Yeah, that's the ticket, a new ride and now you have an excuse to justify it! If you need anymore help just let me know. I've been married over 30 years and I have all the excuses, justifications and reasons you could need. And I'ld be happy to share.

I have a separate holster in my truck that fits between the seats. I de-holster when I'm driving and put my gun in the holster between the seats which makes it faster and easier to get out if I need it.

I'll try more cant. The other option is to slide the holster up to the 2:45-3:00 position when I get in the car, then slide it back to my normal carry position at 3:00 to 3:30 when I get out. Deholstering would be a last resort as it might freak out any parking lot foot traffic.
Thanks for the inputs.
