When you workout your legs you will find often people say "drive through your heels" for correct form, this is also true for deadlifts, lunges, and so on. What it means is that you push through through your heels rather than say your toes when you do your squats, keeping your heels firmly planted on the ground. This also prevents you from leaning too far forward and stressing out your knees.
Now, if you've learnt how to do this and have been doing this for years, its not only easy but also natural. However, if you are just starting out or haven't been doing this, then its awkward until you get used to it.
Here is a very simple tip (that I used when I started) to overcome this - point (bend) your toes upwards as you do the exercise. Try it and you will see that it helps a lot. Enjoy !
