I couldn't get it until I tried it in a pool w/out any dive gear - just bare feet and a swimsuit. Then it finally came together in full scuba gear. Jet Fins are definitely the best for this kick.
What works for me:
If you have the soles of your feet against each other with knees bent (and far apart like MHK said) then force legs straight behind you then a quick swoop towards your shoulders at the end of it. I have to "talk" my way through each step of each kick. Allow some time between subsequent kicks to get back in position and to get the feel of it. After you get the feel of it then you can start to link subsequent kicks together for a more fluid motion.
If your trim is way off it'll never happen.
It takes constant practice!
