This is so subjective because our bodies are all so different. Find another male who is 6'1" and you will both like different car seats.

The best thing is to just sit in several vehicles that meet your needs and try to get an extended test drive. You will also have a chance to see if you can get the seat adjusted the way you like. I'm not sure how you might get your hips above the knees (never heard of this either) but it seems to me that you'd need a large SUV or truck to get the extra headroom so that you could raise the seat that high.

There are also various pillows or cushions that might help.

Good luck... back pain is a... er... pain.

You need a Volvo, their seats are the best in cars. I've had two Volvo's, a 1987 240 DL and a 1995 850. A relative still has the 850, which I drove over Chistmas and was immediatly reminded how comfortable the Volvo seats are. I have a friend who drives a S80 and is 6'1". Every time I sit in a Volvo I always wish all cars had seats that good. I haven't heard about this hips above knees thing, but I'm sure Volvo seats can provide this. Seats with good lower back support would also be good, which Volvo seats do well.
