What if you bend your torso forward at the hip (so you're kind of in airplane position)? Rather than trying to hyperextend the hip of the raised leg, if you tilt your pelvis and your whole torso, then you're really not bending any joint farther than you would when you ride. Not really sure without trying it, but I'm pretty sure that's how I get on and off. I don't know about "where we're all headed" - plenty of older people ride full sized motorcycles.
