i agree with many of the ideas presented above these people obviously know a little something about the subject. i would just like to point out a few things that helped me a few times (50 or so).
1.practising katas which force you to get into the stances you are talking about.
when you were begining to walk your body had to first feel the stance in which you needed it to feel. the muscles had to build up a memory of how they were to operate. the ligaments had to feel tension in order to correct balance issues. once that was accomplished you could stand. then came the walking process.
your body remembers how to do things a lot of which you don't have to think about anymore like walking. the more practice you have the easier it is for you to do those things.
2.another poster said that by making your workouts more realistic would help. this is true. if you practice with an opponent throwing hard punches and you have to block or get hit, you will be forced to block or wake up in twenty minutes.
hope this helps.
