When you are on the post put all your weight on the post leg. You don't need any weight on the other leg because there is no reason to travel past the post.

Once you put all your weight on the post leg you can widen your base a little bit. I usually go down into the VH and once my trailing leg is on the ice I "suck" it into my post leg so there isn't a gap anymore.

Also try practicing off ice a lot, just put a pillow on the ground and try moving in and out of the position (no pads necessary). VH requires some flexibility in the hips, so it's difficult when it's new.
