Dress shoes you need a shoe horn to get on are right out.
I thought it was the motion of your hands (holding onto one portion of the suit) relative to the motion of your feet ("holding onto" another portion of the suit) that caused the suit to move "up" your body. This motion will be complicated by zero-G, but then so are most motions...
