No secrets.
As soon as you reach parallel or wherever your end ROM is, push your back into the bar, push your knees out, chest up (knees out/chest up, we call it 'opening up', it's a good cue), and stand up.

It's kind of a duh movement. Doing it over and over is the only way to learn it. Find out why you're failing lifts, and figure out what you need to do to correct it.
