Default what to drain oil in??

Ok guys and gals........

What the heck do ya drain the oil into????

I have one of these lifts:

and one of these pans-(only not quite as tall):

No matter how high or low I lift the bike, position the oil drain pan and such, no matter what I attempt........I cannot get the oil drain pan underneath the plug enough to drain the oil without making a huge mess.

Any ideas you all have on what other method I could try or drain pan to use would be GREATLY appreciated.

THANKS,

Mav
