I came across this while mucking around with VCDS yesterday, and have since found it documented elsewhere so thought I'd share.

For those with memory seats, you can enable a function called 'easy access'. When you pull the keys out of the ignition, the seat will move back away from the steering wheel a little, (not as much as I was hoping, but its something) allowing you to get out more easily. Then when you get back in and start the car, it moves back to your saved position.
