Here's how you do it:
Seat:
When you put your wrists on top of the steering wheel, your shoulders should still make contact with the backrest. Butt lower than knees.
Steering wheel:
Put your hands at the 9/3 position, they should be roughly at the same level as your shoulders with elbows creating a circa 90-degree angle.
There's videos on youtube.
To give you an idea:
I'm 6'2 with longer legs (34 length jeans) and I have the seat as low as possible with the steering wheel all the way up and all the way towards me. It could be slightly further away, but I like it very close to me. I can see everything very well except the odometer - but that doesn't matter.

I'm 6'4 and set it up this way too. Also, this is the most comfortable position during my 2 1/2 hour commute.
