I take a change.  Jump in the back and get my lycra off ASAP when I get back
to the van.  I keep my recovery drink in the fridge, rinse my face and head
in the sink...and I look like a civilian again very soon after getting off
the bike.
  Some of my boardhead buddies use those neoprene seat covers on their fancy
cars when they get in wearing wet shorts...Those 'snap over' the seats and
keep the fabric dry and clean and they can just be hosed off.  I don't
really bother about my upholstery, what with two large Chesepeke doggies in
and out wet and muddy at times...I do have a carpet that I toss on the
passenger seat when the dogs are wet....or I keep them in back on the rubber
backed industrial carpet I use for when I am working out of the van, too.

  Google around for those wet suit type seat covers...they actually seem to
work really well..
