I have the same issue with my Sterling interior on my driver's side.
My dealership is just going to replace the entire seat from what I understand. My is around the lumbar area and lower back. Its not wrinkles, but a discoloration in the leather. Like a black -- as if the dye has been worn off.

Lexus leather is a bit soft and wears a bit more than harder leathers from what I've noticed. There's always a tradeoff between hard and soft leather. If you keep your leather clean it should help somewhat with the wear and tear. I recommend cleaning the driver's seat with a quality product more often than cleaning the rest of your seats. Basically, more use = more need for cleaning.

My car is an october 05 build too I believe. I was worried about wear and tear issues from the get go since the leather felt a little too soft. I decided to try Lexus leather conditioner and cleaner. I clean the car seat once every month or so. The product doesn't have a strong smell so it keeps the interior smelling almost neutral.
I have to admit that it does work. Not sure however it has restorative affects since the wear on your car has become apparent to you already. I also suggest to try and see if the dealer can do anything for your vehicle is still under warranty. They can at least address the driver's seat.
Hope this helps.
