seat dragging

I don't see how you can possibly do this, try rigging a string where the
fork meets. Probably not the best way, but it works. I did see a video
of someone doing it witha geared uni. The seat just flew up when they
switched gears.

you slowly squat down while pedaling and reach back there and grab the
seat post, then start slowly standing back up.

To get out of seat drag in front, just lean down and pick it up. I
usually grab the frame, then take the seat with my other hand. I find
the pick up to be easier if I am riding more slowly than normal. This
makes it easier to lean over. At first just try to lean over and touch
the seat post briefly. When you can do this comfortably, simply reach
down quickly and confidently and pick it up again.
Getting out of seat drag in back is somewhat more complicated. A lot of
riders simply lean very far down and grab the seatpost, but it is also
possible to kick it up with you foot or lift it up with your heel. I am
most familiar with the latter. Before you switch to seat in back, make
sure that you have the toe (not the ball or arch) of the foot you plan
to use on the pedal. Turn the heel of this foot as far in as you can,
without hitting the crank. Now drop the seat in back and let it drag for
a while. Try to ride with as little wobble as possible. To lift the seat
again, induce some wobble in the wheel as your foot is coming around in
back. This causes the frame to swing around over your heel, so that you
get leverage on it. When done properly, this should cause the frame to
rise. Catch it with your hand as soon as possible, because otherwise you
can end up in seat on side, which can be awkward.

'Here' (http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=m288216pickupseatf) is a
video of Leo Vandewoestijne doing the pick up in front, and 'here'
(http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=m320240pickupheel) is one of me
doing the kick up in back with heel.
