Why not just tilt the steering wheel to the full 'up' position, for a similar improvement in access/egress? Recently, this has been a satisfactory solution for me when my right hip joint disagrees with the idea of being rotated in a certain direction in order to slip out under the steering wheel.

As far as the PS motor is concerned, there is a tendency to be pushing against the motor when bringing the seat closer that might be mitigated by pulling yourself forward with the other hand.
