You may be able to help with something that I've always wondered about with the B-52.
Movement around the inside of the crew compartment (very cramped) was always sans 'chute.
The parachute was fixed in the seat by a connection to the inertia reel at the top back and to the survival kit in the seat base, on top of which was a seat cushion of stern character. Getting out of the seat involved pins in - armrests dropped - parachute chest strap and leg straps released, seat belt released - helmet and mask off and propped on top of the headrest - oxygen off... and away we go!
