Old cop...I know this post is over a month old, but I'm just reading this thread for the first time. Instead of getting out and leaning back in to get your cane, I think you should lead with the cane. Open the door, cane out with left hand, then stand up. This would prevent you from having to lean back in to grab it and also it would be "at the ready" if you were approached as you were getting out. You could keep your EDC "weak side", then switch after you were out.
