Most auto stores sell a wide variety of booster seats for short drivers. They are inexpensive and you might actually sit on one in the store to get a feel for it. My late mother-in-law had a wedge cushion which she used for two cars over 15 years. ---

My wife is only 4 ft. 11 and uses a small cushion much like a store bought one for adding to a couch. ---

Try and make sure you keep a reasonable distance between you and the driver’s airbag. You should be at least 10" from the steering wheel-mounted airbag.
