I really don't know, but maybe this is an idea:

I've broken in many baseball gloves using a lot of very localized oil in the same spots every day, and beating them with one of these wooden ball-mallets. But don't pay $30--you can build one on a fat dowel for probably just a couple bucks (right now, $6 plus screw/washers at Home Depot). The top-mount style would be easier to build.

You'll have to figure out your saddle's exact sit bone spots to experiment properly.
