One strange thing is that the drivers seat is "loose". It feels like it is leaning to the N/S. I wonder if the impact as done something with the WPS?? The angle can't be adjusted either.
I hope you are OK and the Volvo protected you well. My instinct would be the that the drivers seat has somehow released as part of the active safety systems, protecting you against the impact and whiplash. Lets hope it's a pretty standard thing for Volvo to fix.
