The closet I've come to getting stuck is sitting in an old, local movie theater near where I used to live. I was able to extricate myself from my seat, but there was definitely some resistance getting myself wedged in there, and it wasn't really comfortable staying there, either!
This, precisely. Movie theater seats are a nightmare. To be completely honest I "shouldn't" fit in them. When I sit in them at first I'm actually sitting on the arms and then I have wait for gravity to let me settle into the seat itself. So much of me bulges around the arms that I can't have anyone sitting directly beside me either. And then getting up is a pain, literally. It hurts and I almost always end up scraping my lovehandles on the underside of the armrests.
I prefer to sit in the middle row where there are the clusters of two and three seats and they all have the arms you can raise and lower. As they're the only ones I can really fit into.
