Interesting strategy. I think in my dad's attic there is my old boy scout sash full of merit badges from 30 years ago. And by "full of merit badges" I really mean an empty sash with 2 or 3 badges on it. Whatever. I could fold that in half and wear it like a seat belt getting in and out of the vehicle until I can secure the actual seat belt.
I guess the only way to be "click it or ticket" safe is to have an approximately 25 foot seatbelt extension that you can put on outside your vehicle and then not remove it until you are out. Same thing for your passengers.
ETA: If using this strategy, you should probably have your air bags removed. A 25' long "click it or ticket" compliant seat belt would probably get stuck on a deployed air bag and possibly get wrapped around your neck in an attempt to escape the accident. We've all seen on TV how cars explode after virtually any accident.
