Watch your feet as you get the bar past your knees. Your weight is shifting to your heels. You can get away with this for now, but eventually it's going to be a sticking point eventually.
You could think of driving the hips forward as the bar approaches the knee and see if that helps. Or, focus on staying midfoot through the pull to lockout.
