Keeping the car clean will help - much of the static charge is from the air flowing over the body. Clean means less friction. Race cars often have a small wire dragging on the ground under the car to keep it earthed, or drive over metal strips that touch the underside of the car when they stop for fuel. Otherwise, the spark can set the fuel vapour on fire. Also, what you wear, what your seats are made out of, and what your floormats are made out of - all of these can make a difference.

I had a problem with static, especially if I wore a wool coat. If I just hold the metal part of the door when I get out, the shock is transferred to the car. I can also touch the key to the metal part of the door as I get out for the same affect.

Take it to a mechanic. Wait too long and one day you might get the shock that kills you. Especially if it's raining. Don't fool with this.

it's static electricity caused by the dry cold air and your coat rubbing on the seats, it will go away come summertime.
