  My '96 does this too. (and the car I had before my Dak) When I
get out of my truck, I'm usually carrying at least my briefcase and usually
a bunch of other junk too, so its hard to touch something while I'm
getting out. What usually works for me is, as I get out and put my left
foot down, I just touch the back of my leg against the bottom of the door
frame which discharges the spark. Then, when I touch the door to close it,
I don't get a shock.
