The only way I know to increase sleep paralysis is to sleep in a position with your neck not fully supported. I cannot recommend this as it’s not very reliable and a kinked neck is not all that good for your health.
You can still use sleep paralysis to your own benefit. If you don't panic while in sleep paralysis you can dip yourself back into trance pretty good. The not panicking is the tough part, it's quite uncomfortable and i usually want to just wake myself up from it.

I dont know about the kinked neck idea. From my experience you can experience sleep paralysis from a multitude of positions during sleep.
