If you don't want to mess around with the DIC Options, just set the seat where you want it and store that setting into both memories (drive and exit) by pressing the #1 button and after it beeps, press the exit button til it beeps.
Is the "Exit" button the one between "1" and "2"? If so, that is the answer I was looking for. I will try it today.

Thanks!

Also, when you start the car, if you immediately take it out of Park (A6), the seat will not move to the driving position. It must first sense that the car is in "Park". It takes maybe 2 full seconds, at which time, the seat will begin to move. At that point, you can take the car out of park, and the seat will continue to the set position.
I think that's it I tried it and every time I took my time it worked. I'm usually in a hurry and hop in and go. I like this feature, it's much easier for me to get in and out.

this is my experience with my '11 manual GS...except I'd add that the seat/wheel won't go to the exit position unless you pull the handbrake

I set my auto-exit to ON mostly to avoid wearing the bolster getting in and out...it's also nice when I autocross...I use my 2nd seat memory position, which is closer to the wheel, so it's then even nicer to have the exit position option

I got in, the seat moved and stopped, I pressed the button between 1 and 2 til it beeped. I went to lunch, got out, got back in, came home, got out and the seat didn't move at all.

Hooray! I will never monkey with the settings again.

I absolutely agree with that, and it is a motto I usually live by -- especially when it has anything to do with computers. And our cars are just rolling computers.

Kinda sux though that I couldn't move the seat just a little bit without going through the third degree just to get back to ground zero.

Your problem seems to be the English language.

Just when I thought you may actually embrace some of the C6's techno-quirks.

Now just don't go changing the mirrors or radio because they're tied to the fob-related memory too.
