Default RE: Seat no longer moves back when I exit vehicle

I never experienced the seat moving back on egress. However, that may be because the seat is always positioned as far back as possible. The cramped leg room design in the 2000 S-Type should have resulted in someone at Jaguar being fired.
Furthermore, when the seat is moved as far forward as possible on the seat rail, not even a 6 year old's leg thighs could fit in that crevice.
What is more, the seat forward/backward motor is so slow, I doubt this would be welcome motion while trying to exit the vehicle.

Does your steering wheel still move back when you remove the key?

Have you turned off the switch at the left side of the steering wheel, 1 position is auto, the other is off.
