It's almost impossible to turn due to the limited space around it (nice engineering Jeep). If you have a set of 90 degree needle nose piers you should be ok.

What is the origin of a cockpit in aircraft?

A cockpit is the area, usually near the front of an aircraft, from which a pilot controls the aircraft. Most modern cockpits are enclosed, except on some small aircraft, and cockpits on large airliners are also physically separated from the cabin.Cockpit as a term for the pilot's compartment in an aircraft first appeared in 1914. From about 1935 cockpit also came to be used informally to refer to the driver's seat of a car, especially a high performance one, and this is official terminology in Formula One. The term is most likely related to the sailing term for the coxswain's station in a Royal Navy ship, and later the location of the ship's rudder controls.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockpit_(aviation)Also, consider the slang meaning in English of "cock", in context of holding a control stick in an aircraft that is located between ones legs.
