I used to do them heavy. The trick I learned was to cross my arms in front on my body. Think of the I dream of genie thing here. And have the bar rest on top of my front delts.
I have also seen people use wrist straps, and place them around the bar and hold on to them like handles. I tried this once and failed miserably.

I'm not sure exactly where the bar is suppose to be located on my shoulders when I squat but I feel comfortable with it below the traps sitting right on the shoulders.

Here are two quick tips.
When you get under that bar, think about wearing a baseball cap backwards and have the bill of the cap touch your upper back. Keeping your head up. Second, when you come out of the bottom think about leading with your chest.
