If you're on your knees you can't keep much weight on your opponent. I sprawl out out on my toes, keeping my hips nice and low. Puts a lot more pressure on the guy than if you're on your knees.
Grab a bethroom scale and rest your forearm or elbow on it, and try different positions to see which registers the most weight, ie. start on your knees, then sprawl out on your toes, shift your hips up/down, adjust the angle of your upper body, etc and watch how it changes. Should give you a good idea of what position will apply the most pressure.
