A foam paddle float could be kept between your legs, wedged between deck and hull. I've seen whitewater kayaks that have a big block of foam down the center, for flotation, that separates your legs. Given that the float would be on the end of your paddle, it would not interfere with your legs on re-entry, but might complicate regular ingress/egress at the shore...
