Also office chairs with headrests, for whatever reason.

This bothers me so much. I know the idea is that if I get rear-ended it would help prevent whiplash. But it feels so uncomfortable that I tilt the seat back. This defeats the point of the headrest and I am sure other saftey features. But if I didn't I would be constantly annoyed and distracted. That would increase my odds of getting into a forward facing accident.

Pressing brake:

Make it slow.

I used to think my entire body should contour along the seat, and I sat too upright, so this was a problem for me as well. Then I realized you’re not actually supposed to rest your head all the time and you can recline the seat to the point where the headrest doesn’t angle forward too much. Just scoot forward a bit if you can’t reach the wheel. Now I drive more relaxed. Also, some cars’ headrests can actually be adjusted forward and back.

It’s designed to be slightly uncomfortable to keep people from falling asleep at the wheel.

Ask Will Toledo.

They shouldn't be uncomfortable. Make sure you've set them correctly.

I always lower the back of the seat as much as possible and raise the front as much as possible so I'm planted in the seat. I can pick up both get without sliding out of the seat. Then I recline a little bit so I can rest my head comfortably. I have seen those more modern headrests that seem to stick way out from the seat. Not sure who those are for.

Take them all the way out, and flirt it around.

Or see if it moves

Either it is not set right or your head is too long.
