A pillar handles?
What he said. Grab handles on the A pollar.
Also maybe a small fold up step.

I’m the other way around, 6ft 7” having to contort myself to be able squeeze into the drivers seat.
There must be a joke here about letting you borrow a few inches

Ha, same here. My missus drives a mini. Good fun once I'm in but kills my knees getting in and out!
Stannah?
Here’s the guide I followed:

And here’s the handle I bought (make sure you get one for the correct side of your vehicle):
[GUIDE] How to retrofit A-pillar grab handles on T6 and T6.1
My T6.1 came without a-pillar grab handles. Having those in my old T6 I really wanted to retrofit them. Took some photos and decided to do a how to- guide for anyone thinking about doing this. Step 1, removing a pillar covers. Before I pulled out the a-pillar cover, I took the dashboard side...

I wouldn't be over surprised if you could do a swap with someone looking to do an A pillar delete?
I have seen a few members on here get rid of them (cant remember who) for aesthetics . Maybe worth posting a 'Wanted' ad in the wanted/for sale section.
(note: you will also need VIP membership, which is super handy to have anyway and a bargain, would highly recommend)

With a rope attached to pull it in when you are sat in the drivers seat?
My father in law struggles to get in and out of my van as his knees do not bend. I have found the best and safest thing is to carry around a large caravan step with me.... Bear with me! The step which has a lower step then the main step allows him to walk straight into van. It also can be used as a seat for kids or could even be a table between chairs! Everything in van should have at least two uses!
Shortly after getting the van my knees started twinging - thoughts of having to sell the van went through my mind. After a while my knees got used to the ‘new exercise’ and they’re fine now.
I’ve started a new job recently that required quite a bit of lifting with my arm muscles (often 25kg) and they’ve gone through the same cycle.

Is that not a bonus?

Same here, the step idea is OK until I've gotta get back out again to pick it up
