    Do what I did: carefully cut a hole in the side of the seat cover and fit it around the armrest. That way you not only have the seat covered, but also have a functional arm rest.

    What I did (with a Walmart seatcover):

    fit the seatback, mark where you are going to cut the hole, take off the seatcover, cut the hole, feed it over the top of the seat, fit it over the armrest, put the rest of the seatcover on.

    If you don't want to cut a small hole in the seatcover or paid a lot of money for a nice one, then don't do it. I wouldn't want you to tear up a $100 sheepskin seatcover unless you had to.
