I started playing in my late teens and just have recently felt comfortable w/ all my angles (though there is always neverending work on them).
Here are some tips from what I use
1) On plays coming from the wing, I use the blue line and the boards. If I'm on center of it, I'm usually too far on one side.
2) Seeing where the crease arc is lets me know where I am and how far I want to go.
3) Hitting the goal posts w/ your glove or stick before coming out lets you also know where you are
4) Time. I guess it's really like a blind person just knowing where they are. If you know where you are and know where it is relative to everything else, you can move about the crease with more confidence and speed.
I'm sure there are people who know drills and such, but this is how I learned.
Oh, lastly, if I'm facing a shot and it goes over the glass / out of play / offsides, I turn around and face the net and see where I was compared to where the puck was.
