I sit the same way as you Simon, but hold the catty frame in my left hand and the pouch in my right hand. I also put an upside down rest attached to the rear leg of my box to support the back of the pole, and 'strike/lift' with my knee. If its windy I also put a V shaped rest at the front to stop the pole blowing off my knee.
When you use the catty, hold the pouch still in your right hand and move the frame forward to stretch the laccy with your left hand.
The upside down rest allows you to let go of the pole altogether if you want.
