Put up with it or fork out for the matching trousers that will zip to to them, that way your trousers will keep your jacket where it should be and you wont end up with road rash down your back when you inevitably slide down the road

this

although any leathers altering place can sew zips into whatever trousers you currently use (i hope they're at least kevlar jeans...)

Sew on a clip which can attach to the centre belt loop of your jeans. Thumbs Up

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Use a kidney belt to cover your lower back?

No Idea what make of jacket you have but you may be able to get a zip belt to fit https://www.rocketclothing.co.uk/CASUAL-WEAR/DAINESE/ACCESSORIES/Dainese-Zip-Belt/prod_913.html

I use one on my textile jacket if I am not using the textile trousers to zip it to.

(I cant resist this pun... its a little subtle, so think about it.....)

don't leave your keys in the pocket.......

Practically, its the result of posture & bike erganomics. Sitting the bike different may help, but as suggested, the old shirt tail eleatic tab that zipped the bum-plap over your jeans ws the best way, but maybe not so practicable.

Is it cos of the cold accross your kidneys, or the way the jacket sits?

If its cold, as suggested kidney-belt. Other one is over-size over trousers. I have a pair of quilted ones that are pretty warm and they come up almost like bib & braced to my arm-pits, keeping my lower back well covered.

Elsewise, two-pice full-zip together. Really rate them. Fit of a of a one piece, practicality of a two piece.

It happens without a belly too!!!

My trouble is my kit is too big...so I generally wear a bum bag to stop it riding up. It works really well. But ideally I'd have a zip.
