I'm not opposed to the idea of using a quick stretch to facilitate getting into a certain position (like the "low bar squat stretch" from Paul Horn's video), or - like you mentioned - getting a certain area moving the way you want. With that said, I still think that ideally, this sort of thing shouldn't be *necessary* indefinitely. The tissues should adapt to facilitate the needed positions, and at that point more specific warm up would be the focus IMO.
