  Front seats after dropping rear seats

  I’ve got a problem that’s probably user error but I can’t seem to sort it.
  When I open the tailgate and drop the rear ( row 2 ) seats, the front seats move forward. They never return to their original position which makes getting in the front of the car after moving the rear seats impossible.
  Should the front seats return to their correct driving positions and what am I doing wrong please?
  
  The rear seats are lowered by a button that’s in the load space. Sequence appears to be:
  Press button
  Headrests drop ( rear )
  Front seats move forward.
  Rear seats fold.
  
  Should I keep holding the button also?

  Not sure about the front seats moving forward...I'm a bit of a short so my seats tend to be quite far forward anyway. If they do indeed move forward, I've certainly not noticed them being left in the wrong position with the 2nd row seats either up or down...
  
  I don't think you need to hold the switch down for folding or raising the 2nd or 3rd row seats though...one long press and let go should do it. They work similar to the automatic up/down electric window switches as far as I know. I've been holding the switches too although I've seen videos of folks just pressing the buttons the once.
  
  Just a thought...do you have any seat memory positions stored to your own preferences? It might have absolutely nothing to do with it...but the thought just struck me for some reason. The front seats may be returning themselves to a previously stored memory setting you haven't overridden.
  
  I really hate jumping in the car after my son has driven it since he's 6' 4" and his legs are about a foot longer than mine...I can't reach the brake pedal to start the engine until I've pressed the short seat memory button.
