PoppaGator, one of the little tricks of getting sufficient pressure in full barre chords is to use a touch of "leverage." Instead of keeping the thumb and first finger directly opposite each other, if you have the thumb more opposite the second finger, it tends to roll the first finger slightly onto its side and gives you a sort of "scissors" effect. Give it a try; see if it works for you.
