Betfair will always match bets at the best price available there is no getting around this with manual bets.

However Bet Angel does have a unique feature call 'Servants' which allows you to create a set of rules and the servant will carry them out, and one of the things you can do is create a rule to place a bet at a price of your choice, the servant will then wait till that price trades at those odds then trigger the bet for you

There's a ready-made Servant that does exactly what you want which you can download here and import into your Bet Angel

although its not recommended , resetting your ladders from-- reverse-- to -- normal will allow you to place bets in the way you asked. clicking the drop down menu at `Odds display' located on the global settings.
NB; you will still need servants recommended by dallas to ask a price outside the current asking price.
