I also have a hard time getting my floor jack under the front of my car. What I did was to make up two small ramps using 2x10 or 12 lumber. Mine only needed to be two layers high. depending on your jack they may need to be higher. Just drive the car up onto the ramps first, then there should be enough room to get your floor jack under the front crossmember.

The following is a public safety notice.
Remember never go under a car supported by the jack alone.
Always use jack stands.
