Clem, What you do is keep the "door side" of the belt short so that when it is buckled , the buckle is more towards the door and not resting on your stomach.

The buckle end of the belt rests on the center area of the seat and is adjusted as needed.
The outer door side remains adjusted "short enough" so it won't fall out the door.

That's why you want long belts.
