Personally I find parallel viewing much more difficult to master than cross-eye, which may be why it's at the extreme limit for 3d viewing for you. If not you can also step back farther from the monitor to get an easier view. Cross eye is a legitimate method though:

The reason I don't recommend the cross-eye technique is that it's useless on standard stereo views, which are really the only reason for learning free viewing. Otherwise you have to do as you have done and rearrange the pair--a great deal of trouble when going through a stack of images. Cross-eye is OK if you are making your own images for your own use; otherwise it only makes sense to put them in standard form. Personally, I find the cross-eye technique extremely difficult and the parallel easy, but that's probably a matter of eye training and practice.
