That works on my convertible, not on a C8 coupe.

I have severe arthritis in my right knee, so maybe this will work for you too.
1. Left leg followed by right leg out to pavement
2. Facing out, butt still in seat, feet flat on pavement, put your right elbow on the A pillar
3. Stand up using legs and right arm pressure at the same time
