You either have freakishly long legs, or a piece of candy stuck in your seat rails. There is no way a 5'7 person is all the way back in the s2000.
I'm 6'0 and I'm not all the way back.

I'm 5'8 and I used to drive with my seat all the way back. You just have to have a nice gangsta lean.

What about us poor ol' tall guys who have to drive with the seat as far back as it'll go? 
Suck that gut in and breathe out hard while you buckle it back in. It'll take a few tries to get the distance right.

Tighten the belt as much as you can with your butt pushed back/down into the seat. Then unbuckle the latch and pull it up about 2". Jerk it sharply down to lock the belt.

I do that all the time when autocrossing, I just wish I had it easier like all the short folks...
I mean, short people live longer too...not like they have much reason to

common auto-x trick.
instead of doing the seat back, I do this:
twist the seatbelt where the lock (male part) is. lock the tensioner, click the seatbelt.
this will keep you planted in the seats during auto-x.
stupid s2000 seats with no harness bar holes.
