5'5" is not that short across the spectrum of all aviators/aviatrices!
I'm 5'4" and use a bog standard car back rest cushion to push me forward enough to reach the pedals. You might want one that is quite deep. This might even be sufficient as it will force you to sit more upright and could enable you to see out better.
This is the one I got
Just try one at a time.
