Brompton Extended Seatpost- setting correct height

Apologies if this has been previously covered.
When unfolding a Brompton, you may not want to extend the seapost fully in order to achieve your correct seat height.
Is there a way that the correct seat height can be quickly achieved when extending up the seatpost?
The obvious solution is a calibrated post, but I don't believe this is an option that Brompton offer. Another idea is a jubilee clip applied to the post when it extends past the frame at low level, stopping the the extension of the post at the correct height.
Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Why the fuss to be honest. By rule of thumb correct height is tip toe when sat on the bike but I change the height just a touch either lightly up or down just for a change of posture when riding any distance(a change is as good as rest)..Also during a ride mine slips down slighlty cos of my weight.Just adjust it as and when you feel.and go with what feels right..jc0

just bring it up to your crotch level, it's right 99 times out of 100. The more you do it the more you'll get 'your height'Purveyor of sonic doom
