New modern rules specify that a leader may enter or leave a vehicle at 1 MP cost (for both the vehicle and leader). From inside a vehicle a leader may act normally (commanding, activating, artillery spotting, etc). If a vehicle transporting a leader loses a step, roll for leader survival normally. If a vehicle is completely destroyed, so is any leader inside.

Thanks for the reply----so this would be an "update to the 4th edition game mechanic".....
Which (I think) looks like is needed.... you call out a few things--
A) leaders may activate/command any type unit----I think this is a modern training thing---and for PG in WWII...not something we'd want....
B) Leaders may enter/leave a vehicle at 1MP.... Given we are talking about a platoon 3-6 vehicles...we could make the simplification that they
  could find space for 1 leader counter in an AC....and loading/unloading cost 1 for both....
C) Can the leader move after unloading?...
we have case in rules for Infantry that clarifies Loading/Transport moving/Unloading -- the unit cannot move further...
Loaded Infantry--- Transport Moves...say truck moves 3 hexes (6mp) spends a MP unloading an Infantry---Infantry has spend 1 unloading--Can he move 2?
  it is not explicitly covered in the rules--only the LOAD->Move->Unload.....if you're already loaded it's Move->Unload->Inf Move?
In this case, can the leader Skeedaddle into a woods hex after being dropped?
D) If an AC takes a hit from AT (DF is ineffective unless can cause an X->MC) and loses a step....Leader takes a Leader Loss Check, and unloads?
Is the Leader required to unload---or if the AC passes M2, and leader passes Leader loss...he stays loaded and AC keeps moving?

Insight on the above would address any hanging issues on doing this...I think this is probably needed.
Thoughts? objections? Agreements?
