I'm 5'7", and the problem still exists for me.  What I tend to do in this
circumstance is wear my leather jacket, and run the seatbelt through one
of the straps on the shoulder (not sure what the name is), then snap it
shut.  This works really well -only- if the car has AC and the
driver/owner is willing to pay for the gas to run it, or if the outdoor
temperature is cool enough to not need AC anyway.
