Try leaving the squat bar on the rack, then hold it and try to do the lunge lowering yourself down (kind of like a chin up with your feet on the floor).
I have around 110 degrees comfortable, 120 degrees and it starts to hurt (135 is normal ROM).

Leg extensions I have been advised against doing at this point because it will put too much pressure on my patella.

I have always had a really hard time doing lunges, no matter how modified they were. Is there anything you can suggest that I can do easily at home with no equipment?
