Stick your thumb in your armpit, point fingers up, grab your elbow and push it up. Helps a ton. Also, try pressing your elbow in toward each other somewhat when you've racked it.

The main thing that helps though is just repeating, repeating, and repeating; you'll loosen up with time.

Just realized I was dealing with the elbow height side of things more than your actual question... but it will still help you get your elbows up, at any rate.
