Default emergency egress, sans 'chute?

I am certainly not afraid that I would undo the parachute straps in an emergency bailout.
However, I mostly step out of the glider with the parachute on the back - because it makes a difference! Seatbelt lock get messed up with the parachute, weight is significant, mobility reduced. These are all things I'd like to be used to should I really need to act under shock one day.
