We both could use help standing from a car seat, but not sure about this design.
If you look at the pics of the guy in this pic/link

https://stander.com/product/handybar-lite-auto-assist-handle-combo-pack/

you can see the problem. His left shoulder and angled arm are gonna take a big strain as he moves further out of the car so he can have room to stand.
All his weight would be on that handle as his arm moves further behind his body. The slender younger people used in the ad pics might be able to to use it, but older, heavier people would have a problem, esp. with bad shoulders or hands.

I do like the seatbelt handle tool, tho.
