If I were to exit my beautiful legacy in fllight, I would pull to vertical as if to do a tail slide or hammerhead and at airspeed of 10-20 knts I would remove headset, disengage seat belts, open canapy, and stand up and push off as airspeed approached 0 knts. Be sure to jump clear of fuselage and hold heels together as you pull the ripcord.

Sanity check! If you have enough control over the aircraft to execute that maneuver, why would you want to bail out? The only time bailing out becomes a necessity is when the aircraft is uncontrollable. However, then you get to do it in whatever attitude is presented to you, not in an attitude of your choosing.
