I was having the same problem.  My instructor told me to make it so there was no daylight between my knee pit and the pole.  Doing it from the floor really helped me find positioning. You may need someone to tell you when you have no daylight peeking through so you know what that feels like for your leg.  I think for me I also had to angle my foot so it was pointing downward. I hope some of this helps.
