I used to have the exact same problem, where a quick straight bowler would bown on leg and middle and go out lbw, trying to play around the pad to fine leg.
To counter this, and it has worked very well, all my coach said to do was to just open your front leg. So just point yout foot straight so your foot/leg is open to play the ball for an on drive.
As if that will stop the umpire. Unfortunately, you practically have to be at the elite level before you get umpires who have any semblance of a clue about LBW. You basically just have to hit the pad and shout very loud to get LBW. My advise if you are batting with "official" umpires is don't EVER let the ball hit your pad
