Yuk!! I had the same problem years ago. Only my seats were pure white, a tougher problem than yours. I got about 95% of the ink off is the best I could do without rubbing off the white dye. Here's what I did:
Don't laugh because of how this might "Sound", but I took a clean soft white towel and dipped it in 'Mineral Spirits' [Paint Thinner] (NOT lacquer thinner!) & squeezed out 90% of it and kept rubbing until the white was "almost" ready to show signs of fading. Then I stopped and let the leather air dry for 1 hour.
I can't say whether I partly removed most of the dried on ink & partly transferred some of the towel dye to the seats or if I removed 95% of the ink this way. All I know is, when I was done, if you didn't know where the ink was, you'd never know there was any. I'd recommend trying this using a cream colored towel.
Finally, I then put some moisture back into the leather by applying a liberal amount of "Saddle Soap"! It's made to do exactly what you want to do and is only used on leather. Most hardware stores carry it, just follow the instructions to the letter. This step is what restored the softness and lustre to my white seats.
After that ordeal, I made certain to keep ALL writing instruments in a pocket or purse when in that car!
