I like to wiggle on the spot to plant my feet and do a violent hyperventilate head bob thing a few times which tightens everything up

Since this sounds like a serious post and not a troll, I will give you a few pointers:

1. Your hands are hooks, they just hold the weight, not pull it.

2. You are correct that it is like a leg press. You want to imagine you are driving your feet into the ground, attempting to “push the ground away” to drive the bar up and off the ground.

3. Your glutes, hamstrings, upper back, and primarily lats should all be engaged when performing the deadlift. You want to feel very tight through your entire body

4. With low weight such as what you’re using, it will be harder to feel your hamstrings and glutes be engaged and tight before lifting. There isn’t much tension for you to pull back on from the bar. If you are a normal sized human being, I’d suggest trying 135lbs (45lb plate on each side) to get a feel for the tension; you should be able to pull this for several reps with no problem.

As for the hip flexors, you can always warm up before the exercises. Glute activation, side/front leg swings, good girl/bad girl leg machines, etc, or just perform the exercise with the bar/light weight multiple times to get the muscles warmed up. You can also look up hip flexor release videos for stretching or using a kettlebell/foam roller/tennis ball etc.
