It is weird that your cleats are all the way forward. If your shoes have two sets of holes, use the rear set, set the cleats all the way back, and give that a try. If it doesn't feel right, move them forward, but just a little bit--maybe about a centimeter. This will place your foot farther forward on the pedal.
Cleats all the way back, though, is certainly better than all the way forward.
