I drive a semi 12 hours per night and am in and out at least 50 times. Then I go plow snow with my diesel Dodge. Again, in and out of the snow. I know exactly what you mean about the snow and mud... JC Whitney used to sell a thick vinyl/rubber floor covering (fits like carpet) to replace the factory carpet. I had it in my old chevy K-20 and it worked great in a 4x4.
I climb in my seat leaving my feet dangling and them clap them together a few times. It helps. Teach your kids to do it, too. But the best thing is Husky Liners for your floor and diligent shop-vac use to get the water they might miss.
Many truckers like to mount flat brushes bristle-side-up on our steps, which work really well, too.
My big K-30 crew cab (single-rear-wheels) with 35" tires has stirrup steps which I really like. No mud or snow build-up and highly functional for climbing that high. Just another option...
