Since you don't have to get up and advance from this position, try sitting on your foot. Plant with one foot, go down on the other knee, and keep your non-planted foot turned in a bit, and sit on it as you sit back.

It gets you lower than sitting on your heel(s), and feel it's more stable (for me) as well. Considering the cost of bad shots from an unstable position, it doesn't take much time to get into, either.

Caveat: I'm not over 6', either, but ran into a similar problem shooting long targets through a low port while kneeling, and found that sitting on one foot was a good solution.
