You could also try some pin presses in the powerrack by setting the pins at your sticking point above your chest. IMO, if you can get some 2x6 boards, they'd be a lot better than rack presses.
I agree with the pin presses suggestion. If I am understanding you correctly you are saying you are having problems pushing the weight from the bottom of the lift through the first 6-8 inches. If thats the case then pin presses will work wonders because you are pushing more weight through your difficulty range and when you go back to your regular bench training you should notice the difference.

If the difficulty area is actually near the lockout or a couple inches off your chest, then I agree with 0311 that boards are the way to go. From my experience boards feel alot more natural as compared to pin presses and can really help you break through your max.
