What kind of paint is it? Acrylic? Latex? House paint? Car paint? The method is different depending on the type of paint you have on there.

Well the problem with leather is that if you go a traditional route of paint removal, then it will dry and ultimatly do more damage to the seat. I would suggest a foaming cleaner and a foam applicator pad first. It may take some working in, and you may look into getting a leather brush like they use when polishing shoes. I would use this first http://meguiars.com/?automotive-leat...er-Conditioner
with the pad, if that isnt enough i would suggest buying a leather brush and using the same cleaner. Any other chemicals used for removing paint will do more damage than good.

you pretty much out of luck..i would do a google search and try and find some1 who is experienced in leather restorartion..worst comes to worst and you ruin the leather, you can always get it redyed because jap and american use spray dyes for leather, just dont scrub to hard so you dont damage the texture
