Default squats

I've been trying to start incorporating squats into my workout. I really want to be able to do full squats, but my butt just doesnt want to go down that far!
I've been practicing without weight, then with an 8lb bar, just so I can get the form down and not feel like I'm about to fall over.
However, it seems that I just cant get past parrallel. My butt will go down further if I raise my heels, but I know that's not proper form. Somewhere I read somethign about wearing shoes with heels to help get down into a full squat.

What do you all think? What's my best bet for getting down into a full squat?
