-While in public with no 30.6 or 30.7 signs, move my Holstered Pistol from one position on my person to another, while holding the holstered weapon only in my hand? (I'm thinking parking lot next to my car not the waiting line at a bank)
-Stand by the open door of my vehicle, reach in, retrieve my holstered pistol and clip it onto my belt in a canceled or OC position?
Somebody will come along and quote the specific statutes, but let me say regardless of legality these both sound like unwise choices...

Solution to both of these situations is to either sit in your vehicle and position the pistol as needed or find a more secluded area than a public parking lot. While I doubt either of these get you criminal charges, they could easily cause undue panic and assumptions to be made.
