Duck footedness shouldn't cause that problem. I'm both flat footed and duck footed and I don't have a problem getting into the pulling position.

How flexible are you? I bet you that is more of the problem. Do you stretch much? Lack of stretching can also lead to lower back pain, so that could also explain some of your back pain if you don't stretch.

I'd definitely recommend switching to low bar, it's funny at first but, in my opinion, it's all around better.
