There are a few ways to get adjustability quickly and easily with the equalette. The problem is how ingrained the thinking is in terms of the cordelette: here's your big fat master point, clove this and and clip the shelf, end of story.
With the equalette, you need to think more about options using the rope (in my opinion); it will open up all the possibilities you'll ever need. One suggestion is don't tie into the lockers, just run the rope through and clove hitch a locker on your belay loop. Adjust to your stance/position, add another foot, then tie an overhand or fig 8 on the doubled rope between you and the lockers. This will give you an extended power point to either move your ATC for how you want to belay (direct, indirect, redirect) and also open up a clip point for your second.
From another thread, here's another setup, though not adjustable after the fact (this was addressing clip points with the eq.):
Those are just a couple, but start thinking with the rope (away from the master) and I'm pretty sure your problems will disappear.
