Yep get a EF/EL :P lol

No you cant dude unless you convert it to EF/EL handbrake which cost lots and isnt worth it for your car

Without chopping it up...
Make sure your seat height is all the way DOWN and your steering wheel height is all the way UP. Steering wheel is adjustable 4 ways (up/down/in/out) try and find a more comfortable setting.

from your gallery it's an Auto, so you shouldnt need to use the handbrake all the time anyways

Adjust it, under the driver side of the car is the adjustment point, you can tighten it up so you only need a few clicks to get the handbrake to engage, that way it will hardly stick out, still work, and solve the problem possibly.

Test before adjusting by pulling the handbrake on just a few clicks, then jump in and out to see of if it's worth the effort.
