On nice days it helps if you get to know your boat by floating it and sitting on the deck, standing in the cockpit, paddling while sitting on the deck, climbing in and out cowboy style etc. Shallow wam water with a soft bottom helps.

Once you have played around like this a bit it doesn't feel so outrageous to just reach behind, hitch your thumbs ino your cockpit and hoik yourself out onto the rear deck. A paddle park is handy so that one can exit without it getting in the way.
