Drivers side door lock in the way

Has anyone noticed that the door lock gets in the way when you rest your arm on the door with the window open. I have to keep the seat back kind of far since I'm 6'2" and I'm tired of getting poked by the door lock. Anyone have a solution?

Agreed that lil bastard does get in the way and yes i know i should be drivin with both hands on the wheel but sometimes u just to have to sit back and cruise through the neighborhood like u own it(kids dont try this at home ) I figure in another six months ill have a nice indentation in my arm anyway

Unhappy Thanks for the suggestions

I was hoping someone came up with an aesthetic solution for a change or removal of the lock, but I guess not yet.
As for that suggestion of "two hands on the wheel" - just because I live in Florida it doesn't mean I have to drive like an elderly Floridian. Would you also suggest I keep the right blinker on at all times and keep the pro5 under 50 mph on I-95?
Also, what's wrong with "thumping music"? I wish the standard stereo in the pro5 could "thump."
