This may be a really stupid question. If so, I apologize.
How do you sit up tall while riding in a minecart so you can see better?
In videos everyone seems to be sitting up nice and tall, and one time while riding in my little railway I sat up tall, but the rest of the time I am hunched down.
Its a bummer because I have created some pretty neat rails and roller coasters but without the ability to see clearly a lot of the fun and effect is lost.
Is there a way to get the better view while still in first person? I've seen it in tons of videos.
You're going to have to post a screenshot, or a link to a video that shows what you're talking about, because there is only one way to sit in a minecart.
EDIT: How to post screenshots (F2 takes an in-game screenshot and saves it to your ".minecraft/screenshots" folder):
What version are these videos that are watching in?
If I'm not mistaken, the view was moved down a lot in recent versions. No one really seems to appreciate this much though, I'm sure Mojang is/has or will take note of it soon. ^^

Not sure if it is the same problem he is seeing but I noticed this yesterday... Hopped into my minecart and I couldn't see anything really but the walls of the minecart:
I've been able to repeat this behavior, but only when I hop in my minecart when it is sitting at an angle like in the middle of the V in this image:
and for reference, here is what it normally looks like when I hop in the minecart when it is flat:

I've had this glitch as well, since i went onto 1.6.2, and as you point out, it does only seem to happen if you enter a minecart on a slope. Most of the time you stay like that til you exit the cart, but just occasionally it does correct itself mid-ride. I noticed if you do 3rd person view whilst in the cart, you legs are moving as if you were propelling the cart with your legs, this doesnt happen when sitting normally in it.

That was exactly my issue. Starting your cart at an angle caused this.

I appreciate your help on this.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
