My car is similar but my elderly dog rides on the back seat on a dog hammock. I have to help her into the car by lifting her back legs. She gets onto the seat by herself and I rehook that side of the hammock to my headrest.
Getting out, she sometimes loses balance on her back feet so I try to park next to grass when I take her to a walking trail.
She does enjoy her walks.
