I'm 6'1" and never had any difficulty doing seiza in my Shotokan classes a few decades ago. Arthroscopic surgery on my right knee changed that. Prior to the surgery, I had no difficulty touching either heel to its corresponding buttock. After the surgery my right heel wouldn’t get within a foot of my right buttock.
Bretzels have helped. Just focus on pulling the back ankle:

Having a partner push while you pull is helpful.
The rocking Tim Anderson recommends helps, too:

I can once again do seiza, but not for long. The two exercises above have, however, just about restored the range of motion in my right knee.
