Like the title says... bugs the hell outta me. Every other non Merc with memory seats I've had has just been one touch and it goes to the position set position, not holding the button down for all eternity.
Is there a way to make the memory seat buttons one-touch?

Think about why this would be a very bad thing...got it.
Just in case...imagine a setting that would raise you to the ceiling whilst pushing to the windscreen and in your panic you can't stop it...whilst travelling at 70 on a very busy dark motorway during a snow storm. Got it now?

Ciaran makes a good point.
However maybe a good idea would be if it worked as one-touch when the vehicle is in park. But not when in motion.

IT bugs me too although I understand why it's that way.
The BMW system is better. His & her remote keys. Seat position & mirror settings are connected to each key fob. The adjustments are made as soon as either key unlocks the car. By the time you get in the job is done.
Strange that many other manufactuers are 'one touch' and yet we don't hear of injuries nor fatalities do we?

This is how my RC memory function works, all adjustments are made as the door unlocks. If one selects a different memory, one has to hold the button to completion but that position is automatically linked to the currently linked key.

One explained that exquisitely
My SL has 2 remote keys that have different memory settings. I thought all MB's with memory seats had this.

Audi is press and hold also so it isn't MB specific.

I've not actually tried the other key.
Why would I have that programmed into a setting on my car in the first place? And why would I be waiting until doing 70 in a snow storm to adjust the seat? Why would I even be doing 70 in a dark snow storm?! Other stuff like previous BMW or Jag, you can interrupt it by pressing any of the movements again.

You might not. But that doesn't mean it's not a potential situation for others.
I'm 6'2. One of my ex's was 5'. Engaging her seating position in the SL would see me crushed between steering wheel, dashboard and seat.

“But I wouldn’t” doesn’t override “what if”.
“What if” causes people to die and multi million law suits.
“But I wouldn’t” doesn’t cause that.
Imagine option 1 is for Margret. She’s old and tiny and has the steering wheel touching her nose and the seat right up and forward.
Option 2 is for bill. He’s of limited movement, is a big old chap and has the seat down and back.
Bill accidentally hits one touch option 1, and before he realises he’s hit the wrong one, the button to stop it again is now out of reach if his right arm and his left arm is blocked and restricted by the steering wheel that’s now compressing his chest.
MERCEDES SQUEEZES THE LIFE OUT OF FRAIL OWNER isn’t a good headline.
The other mechanisms that are via the key when you unlock obviously bypass this risk.

Anybody can make up pointless "what if" scenarios about features on a car that can cause death. What if Margret accidentally presses the boot release button on the key when she's standing behind her Mercedes, and the boot flies up and breaks her nose, causing her to bleed out due to the blood-thinning medication she's on?
This post wasn't supposed to be a debate on a whole load of hypothetical scenarios that could result in weird 'Final Destination' style deaths. My point is has anybody found a way, or know of a way, to make the buttons in MY particular car one-touch. My car which isn't going to be driven at 70 in a snow storm nor by Margret, Bill or any other unusual characters

It can't be done.
But this is the very essence of the first world problem.

Aren't most C63's tucked up in bed during snow storms ? 
I don't fancy getting stuck in the snow with my puny little C55 AMG (old skool traction control and no LSDiff ) never mind a C63

Not all of them. Some wait until its dark to go out and fine-tune their seat adjustment on the motorway.
