I'll leave the asking her out answer to the next posters.
When you two start going out, If your sister or dad or whoever drives you knows her, then let her go at the front and you take the back seat. If not, you should present them to her and maybe take the front seat first time and then do the opposite to be courteous. Once you two start going out as a couple and everyone's comfortable with that, you two can sit at the back.

I dont think it should be awkward and its always good you family meet girls you date.
Just be sensible about any venue you need driven to how far it is and what other plans your sister or parents have so I guess you have to flag that up sooner rather than later. I would think leave the choice of seating to your parent or sister but you should offer your date the choice.
as for asking her to date then you can just go with the flow suggest a few things and see what happens.

You can always start conversations about something you three have in common and go from there

You can help the conversation along and that is only polite - introduce properly you can flag up some topics to whoever is driving don't cut in to conversation and above all your gf might be a bit shy so give her time to speak up and refer things to her.
make sure you know any curfew and sort out the return journey.

Like other people have said, give her a choice of where to sit. Also, you could have your parents drop you off somewhere and meet her there.

I'm lucky enough to live in an area with a halfway-decent public transportation system. When I dated my first boyfriend, we often took the bus or train to get places. There was one time that my dad had to drive him and I somewhere though, and it wasn't too awkward. IIRC we both sat together in the rear bench, simply leaving the front passenger seat unoccupied. I told him to sit wherever and we both ended up back there. I mean I guess it would've been polite to directly offer him the front passenger seat, but that would have made me uncomfortable if I was in my boyfriend's shoes. I mean, I sit in the back bench with my friends when I'm not the one driving anyway, so idk why I would do it any differently with my partner. Whatever, everyone's parents are different and I drive myself places now anyway.
Anyway, we obviously knew to not be all lovey dovey because that *would* make things awkward. But just sitting there interacting on a friendly level wasn't that awkward.
