One thing I did was set the hooks where I would normally unrack from and set the safety pins at the point I wanted to press from. I unracked the bar and lowered it like I was doing a full rom bench, so the bar hit the pins at the same point it would if I were doing a regular bench. Then I just pressed it from there. Takes out the guess work, and you can't mimic your bench better than that.
