Just lately been getting really bad static shocks when I get out of my car. They can be quite painful, any ideas how to stop this■■?
get yourself some of them rubber strips that people used to hang off the back of their cars in the 70s and 80s and attach em to the back of yer trousers…that’ll sort it bug 
Stop driving your car.
Or touch the metal bit of the door before you get out.
Touch the window before you get out
Wear nylon socks,nylon trousers,nylon shirts and cheap plastic trainers

It aint funny I get em all the time truck, car even in ASDA, the kids think it’s fun to creep up on their old man and zap him on the neck that was till they found that dad can zap em back in the nuts dad 2 kids 1
Just to add I got a dyson vacum and boy do that give me some good sparks. I can vacum at night and see what I’m doing with the lights off
Gotta wear me rubber gloves now cause it hurts too much 
wear cotton. you tramp. 
Some cars are more prone to it than others. I’ve witnessed the spark visibly zap accross at night from my hand to the door frame.
-
Stop wearing trainers to drive in, they’re not good driving foot wear anywear due to the cushioned soles.
-
If that doesn’t cure the problem, as another posted 1/2 mentioned in jest, a good old fashioned earthing rubber strip or chain.

What about shocks when I get out of my car?
Many people experience shocks when they get out of their car. Often they believe that the car is charged - but this is not normally so.Sitting in the car, electrostatic charges are generated on the car seat and the person’s body, due to contact and movement between the clothes and the seat. When the person leaves the seat, They take half of this charge with them. As they get out of the vehicle, their body voltages rises due to this charge - a voltage of 10,000 Volts is not unusual.
When they reach to touch the vehicle door, the electrostatic discharge and shock occurs as their hand approaches the metal door.
The voltage build-up can often be avoided by holding onto a metal part of the door frame as you leave the seat. This provides a return dissipation path for the charge on your body.
If you have forgotten to hold the metal door part as you leave the seat, a shock may often still be avoided by touching the glass window before you touch the metal door. The glass may be conductive enough to dissipate charge, whilst preventing the rapid discharge which is felt as a shock.
If you have your keys in your hand - let the spark discharge through the keys not to your fingers, and you won’t feel anything!
