The seats in most cars ride on two rails that are only attached to the chassis with four bolts (two on each rail). Raising the rails would be a simple matter of inserting a spacer block below the rails and using longer bolts to reach through the spacer to the chassis. Forward positioning could also be adjusted by moving these rails forward and remounting to the chassis with new bolt holes. Of course the old bolt holes would have to be sealed shut to keep out water but that too is an easy matter.
Raising the seat up will lift your feet higher too so pedal extensions can be added to each pedal. All this would be much simpler if your car had individual bucket seats as I would assume you wouldn't want to modify both sides... just the drivers side.
Good luck!

I feel you pain. (4ft 3in here) Pillows suck! I drove a Ford Free star (mini van) while my car was being repaired, and it was a wonderful thing for short people. I could actually see and reach the pedals at the same time.

most people suggest phone books but normally you can just adjust the seat higher and forward so that you can still reach the pedals but be able to see over the steering wheel as well
