Aeron Chair - is there any good way to sit in it?
I have a Hermon Miller Aeron chair (not the rich person's problem this might sound like. It was the only chair I could find in my petite size at a time I could barely sit).
 
I'm assuming I can't stretch-sit because of the high back. Am I wrong?
 
Is there any good way to sit on it? (maybe utilizing the adjustment possibilities; height, pelvis tilt, rocking, lower back pressure, arm rest height, arm rest distance)?

The Aeron is my least favorite chair. The high back is not what prevents stetchsitting - it's the mesh that doesn't give you enough support even with a towel or Stetchsit cushion (although this does make it better). The mesh in the seat pan makes your legs roll inwards - bad. The only benefit of the mesh is it does allow air circulation which can be useful for people carrying extra weight. 

Cal our office and check whether our chair with a lshort cylinder will work for you. We're also working on a petite chair.
