I got one of those big old paddle switches: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FFglI1QNcfg/S9Ih9zOBQxI/AAAAAAAAAc8/cNo6rBODOkw/s1600/Safety+Stop+Switch+%28Grizzly+H8243%29.PNG
and mounted it exactly where my left knee is. The only downside is it's not a magnetic switch, so I left the original magnetic switch in series.
