If you can't see well from one position, just move your head.

Although I must say that it would be quite useful if you could enable/disable this head movement. In other words, you could change head position to some place, then press a key to "lock" it and after that head would stay in place. You could still turn the head up/down and left/right. If you wanted to move head position, press a key to "unlock" it and you'd have 6DOF head movement again.
Depends on were you can lock it, it would be wierd if you could lock your position when your leaning halfway up, since thats not a position you'd sit in for many seconds.
