Default cockpit exit assist for older pilots

What devices and or methods are available to assist older pilots in exiting sailplane cockpits (on the ground)?


Our club has a median age of 60 and several older, but proficient, pilots have difficulty getting out of the club 1-26E and club K-6E. The air bladder may be a solution. Availability? Giving rides in the club 2-33 necessitated the use of a small kitchen step ladder for older or challenged passengers.
