Manchesters suggestion sounds great actually if you have trouble setting up with the ball a tad farther back and feeling "out of place".
for me, crips iron shot comes when i have the ball closer to my left foot. when i put the ball back of my stance, i tend to come at the ball steep, and having to "clip" the ball first becomes little more difficult.
The short answer is practice, practice, and then do that again.
The truth is, the position of the ball shouldn't matter to your ball striking. I can hit the ball clean with my pitching wedge off my front foot or my back foot, it depends on what I want the ball to do.
