"...due to the driver entering or exiting the vehicle with their foot resting on the accelerator pedal."

As they used to say on Hee Haw "Don't do that!" It's sounds like the thing can break if you put too much sideways force on it.

I'm still trying to figure out how you can even reach the gas pedal while getting in and out of the car.

I think it's in the early stage of getting out, or more likely, the late stage of getting in. I can see the latter. You're moving your feet into position, but hit the side of the pedal instead of clearing it. I'm not picturing how you'd have your foot to the right of the pedal, so getting out doesn't seem as likely.
