Any 12 year old kids could learn how to operate the yoke steering wheel in five minutes. Relax. It will be fine. First world problemsI'm thinking deeply about this, since I do it too (also in 50s).
Plan A: lose 20 lbs, so I don't grab the wheel;Plan B: always cock the yoke/wheel at an angle, so I have a dependable bar;Plan C: Park on a 45º incline so I just fall out of the car.
