Easiest way to start out is to put your arms straight out in front of you and let your legs go wide. Unless you have one hell of a beer gut or weak twigs for legs (or actual health issues), it should become pretty easy with just a few tries.

it’s definitely a thing for me too :) ideal deep squatting posture is one thing, but for me tight calves end up causing pain / other movement issues too. if it ever ends up bothering you, standing calf stretches like runners do can help, or downward facing dogs, and if you have a resistance band you can do these:
