Sports cars and bad knees may be mutually exclusive. After you get your knee replacements, it will get better.

AS to mirrors, yes....use good driving habits.

before actually getting out, i tend to twist to the left a bit, left leg out, and with my right hand, grab onto the outer driver side pillar and pull myself out (almost like a pull-up), is this makes sense.
