Can you put it up w the key when you get out? I programmed the 1er with my Carly to do that. Its much easier to get out with the top down, then use the key fob to put the top up.

Correct - for what I have learned through the years. Granted, my convertible experience is for a 1960's Detroit domestic car - but I think the principle applies as well.
I leave the Mustang's top up - but not fastened down to the windshield. That way the material is not folded up nor really stretched. The top is now 15 years old (the restoration was completed fall of 2006) and the top looks brand new. The material is nice and straight and doesn't have any folds or creases in it.
