I get static shocks all the time too. Two hints: when getting out of a vehicle I found if I hold the door frame while I'm getting out I avoid a shock(of course, I still shut the door by touching the window, not the metal). Also, first touch metal with a touch of a fingernail. It doesn't hurt as much as a full touch of your finger.
