Spray your seats with static guard. and use drier sheets in your wash.

Always let the OTHER guy get out first (grin).
Its easier then that. Get a curb feeler or drag a piece of wire or metal from the frame to the ground. THat will ground the car for you.
Its pretty common.. next time you pull into a toll booth, look and you will see some wires sticking up from the ground at the booth itself. These ground out the car so that the toll collecter doesn't get zapped each time he takes a coin from the driver. Same principle in reverse.. then just hold the door before you step out in case you picked up more charge from sliding on your seats.

Static electricity. Worse in the dry winter air, and very dangerous if you throw a spark reaching for the handle to the gas pump, which is why you don't get back in the car no matter how cold it is.
Holding on to the door as you slide across the seat and while you get out will slowly dissipate the electric build up so you won't get the *ZAP* as you reach to close the door.

I always hold onto the door before my feet touch the ground.. it works most of the time.
OR.....get one of those strips that hangs off the bottom of your car and drags on the ground. I don't use them because they look tacky....it would probably work though.

ground yourself by either holding onto the door frame while getting out or the glass, it will prevent the static electricty from building up which causes the shock you get.
