For long journeys i made sure to stop and walk a little to keep circulation going, my doctor suggested that. Sitting too long made my feet swell. A quick stretch every hour or so helps a lot.
I sat upright with a small cushion behind my lower back and wore the seatbelt below the bump, not across it. On long drives i took breaks to stretch my legs. It really helped my back during my daily commute.
My app actually had a tip about wearing the lap belt low under the belly and the shoulder belt to the side. I kept the seat slightly reclined for comfort. Small adjustments made the rides much easier.
