Is there a way to extend the clutch or shrink the gas pedal?

Is there a way to extend the clutch so I can put the seat back further and alleviate my right foot's hard right angle while driving? I get painful foot cramps while driving and have to pull over sometimes...and it takes the joy driving to have to keep my foot stressed in this right angle. I've googled other bloggers complaining of the same issue, but not found any solution. The local Honda service department guy said he'd never heard of it. Yet bloggers are wondering why Honda hasn't corrected the problem on the 2011s. If I put the seat back far enough to relax my right foot, I can't push the clutch in fully. I'd love some ideas! Thanks!

I think you misunderstood my problem. Meanwhile, I found the magic words to google, and found products and this, which I think I'll try:
pedal extender do it yourself

This may help. I had bad right leg problems before doing this.

Being 6' 2", I've never had any problems with foot position or cramping or anything. I had to get used to driving a clutch with a softer gas pedal, since I came from an 01 PT Cruiser with an actual throttle cable. Could be worse, I tried shoving myself into a Miata, and in addition to my head being compleatly above the windshield, my feet would smash against two pedals, no matter where I put my foot.
