A seat in the regular driving place (6)
I believe the answer is:
settee
'a seat' is the definition.
(I know that settee is a type of bench)
'regular driving place' is the wordplay.
'regular' becomes 'set' (set can mean regular or fixed).
'driving place' becomes 'tee' (a golfer drives a ball from a tee).
'set'+'tee'='SETTEE'
'in the' is the link.
(Other definitions for settee that I've seen before include "somewhere to sit" , "chair" , "Seat for more than one" , "Long upholstered seat with a back" , "Sofa, couch" .)
