Do not "fold" your belts to get them to tighten!! Follow the procedure outlined by doubleurx... it's know around here as "the seatbelt trick" and it works really well.

Whoops. I thought that *was* the seatbelt trick. I can't really do the real seatbelt trick reliably with electric seats. I've tried, but it really isn't a decent solution.
