Tara Palmer-Tomkinson struggles to protect her modesty (4 PICS)

Any woman who loves wearing mini-skirts is well aware of one of the downfalls of a high hemline... climbing out of a car.

And despite over two decades of wearing minis, it looked like Tara Palmer-Tomkinson is still struggling to exit a vehicle while protecting her modesty.

After parking her convertible outside her South West London home yesterday, the 40-year-old seemed to be having difficult getting out of the vehicle.

Wearing a tan split skirt and towering six-inch heels, the former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant clutched her Chanel handbag closely towards her waist to protect her modesty.

But after narrowly managing to avoid flashing her underwear, she soon straightened out her skirt and carried on her way.

Later that evening, she changed into pink skirt suit to attend the launch of the John Lewis Beauty Hall in London's Oxford Street.

In March, Tara fled to her home in Switzerland after her erratic behaviour caused some alarm.

Fears arose when Radio 5 listeners reported that Tara sounded drunk on air after slurring her words, and even the presenter, Richard Bacon, had to ask her 'Are you alright?'

Although she said at the time that she had not been drinking, she later admitted she needed to seek help.
