I do deadlifts and power cleans. My deadlift is almost double my power clean.

I like to pick the bar up from the ground. Also putting the bar down between repetitions allows me to re-set my back.

Keep practising, your flexibility should improve. I'd use the hand position of the hang clean phase also for the deadlift phase---because the weight will be so low compared to a proper deadlift that you can afford to use suboptimal positioning for this part.
