The only think that comes to mind where I have to play an F this way is a Jourma tune, Midnight in Milpitas, where you have to have the 1st string open at the same time.
Just move your thumb back and hook over and press down a little. With me, the edge of the fretboard is about at the thumb joint, and the part that pushes the string down ends up being about halfway between there and the end of the thumb. The thumb just barely pushes the string really.
If all else fails, do it the "right" way with classical fingering :-(
