I did a little experimenting at home last night, and I could feel how it might be a matter of hip mobility as well as shoulder flexibility. As you said earlier, "You need to get in the practice of squatting down, and between your legs." I'm not doing this.
Where's Lisa~ with a link showing how to do dislocates? (Although that name scares me a little along with Gq's reference above.)

HA. I wouldn't link you to dislocates because I wouldn't recommend that you do them! Any of the stuff from I/O would help with shoulder mobility, especially as warm-ups. Thoracic extensions every day. I like the band idea to get into the habit of pulling the bar apart. You've gotten great advice so far.
I agree that you've got to get away from a powerlifting style squat. Think of O-lifters and their style when you're doing OH squats. This is an assistance exercise for the snatch, so that's the only style squat that's going to work. OH squats are tough! Keep working on them!
