It'll work.
When you get out normally the charge builds and then releases when you make contact with metal. By keeping in contact with a petal piece the charge flows through you and isn't allowed to build.
Or you can get leather seats.

Did you get new shoes or use a different laundry dryer/fabric softener? Moved to a new house with different carpet? It could be a lot of things!
