Get the winch control with the long lead. Or better yet, get the remote control kit for your winch, I have warn remotes in my trailers, and then you can operate your winch from any position. Then you can stand beside the car and steer, sit inside, or from any position, and operate your winch. For clearance with low slung cars, I stand on or put downward pressure on the winch cable close to the auto and hold the cable away from vehicle. It doesn't take much force to move the cable safely out of the way on a rolling car. I even winch them out using a snatch block attached to a recessed floor swivel tie down at the rear of the trailer when forced to park on a reverse incline. Just remember to put a wheel chock in a position to stop the car before it rolls down the ramp and out the back.
