Water by rear door after rain

I'm going to win the dumbest question award!

I have a '10 E550. EVERY time I drive in the rain (or snow) the car dumps a big puddle of water (or slush) on the floor of my garage exactly at the entrance of the driver's side rear passenger door. Maybe the passenger's side too, but I don't know because quarters are too tight on that side to get in the car.

The problem is that I have a 3-year old who naturally insists on getting in the car by herself. Which means she has to walk through the puddle to get in the car. Even when I convince to let me lift her into the car, stretching over the puddle with a 35-lb weight is not easy on the back.

Anybody else notice these puddles? Any clever solutions? I've never had this problem with any other car.

That's just the car draining rain water that accumulates in seals and stuff like that. Don't think there is much you can do.

Maybe roll your car forward a bit before your daughter get into the car?
