I have the same issue!!!!

Already tried to lay your chest ahead while you let your leg behind out of the pole? It helped my hip to get out of the way.

It took me a little while to get this trick for the same reason.....I let go with the foot that I was going to grab BEFORE trying to get my arm around the pole and would turn my body kind of sideways so my back was against the pole and from there I would bring my arm around and grab my ankle.

I'm sorry if that didn't make any sense, it's kind of hard to explain....I wish I could actually show you somehow lol because I literally just did that one movement differently and I didn't have trouble anymore.
