Any Tricks to Adjusting Audio Position (Scrubbing)?

Are there any shortcuts or tricks for scrubbing audio (adjusting position)? This is a safety issue when dealing with audiobooks or podcasts.

For example, you miss a word in an audiobook and want to go back ten seconds. You put your fat finger on the progress bar, and it displays the time left in the audio under your finger. You then try to move it back a tiny bit, which may correspond to a few millimeters in the 6 hour recording. Before you know it, you've been failing to pay attention to the road for a minute or more.

One improvement is to put your finger on the current position, then slide it down before scrubbing left or right. That allows you to see the time-left display.

If there were any way to skip back 10 seconds or hold down the back button to rewind, it would be less of a hazard.
