I am new to the CCW world, and have a few questions about logistics. I don't have too many concerns while carrying it, but getting in and out of a car, or sitting down in a chair brings some concern.

I am currently using an IWB. I don't want to keep it in the holster while driving, but what is the opinion on how to transfer to the console? It's relatively easy to move out of the holster while in the car, but getting it back in while still sitting is a real problem.

Then there is sitting down in a chair. I can usually keep it covered while sitting, but the transition up or down is a problem.

What about moving from the holster to a coat pocket when I am entering a darkened area, especially if this is the walmart parking lot? Just pull it out and slip it into the coat pocket, or somehow shield it?

Opinions and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
