I've only had my Prius since March and noticed that the side of the leather seat is already showing wear, probably from the seat belt. While I have 13,000 miles on it, I typically put 190 miles/day going to and from work, so it hasn't had a lot of use.

Anyone else with the same problem? Is this typical, normal wear and tear? Can I expect any warranty help from Toyota?

I don't know why, but I have had that problem in every car I have owned for the past 15 years, except the Prius. Not a hint of a problem and I have had the car since last December, but I don't have as many miles as you do. I would think it has more to do with hooking and unhooking the seat belt and I do that several times a day, every day.
