This is common problem on light coloured leather. To remove marks I use Meguiar's leather cleaner and conditioner which I find works very well. The secret is to clean the seat as soon as it starts to discolour. Also don't wear jeans with metal studs on the rear pockets as they will rip the leather!

LTT's stuff isn't cheap, but it works. However the trick is to get the dye off before it gets too bad. Denim jeans and jackets are bad news for leather seats.
