If feet screwing isn’t working, you might also try keeping the feet straight but then screwing your upper legs outward which then turns the kneecaps slightly to the outside of straight.  Try this a few times and you’ll feel the torque generated at the hips.  Also in order to screw your upper legs outward, you’re gonna have to activate the glutes to do it.
