I think I'd try a thicker block of wood next time.
As for sliding the jack under the center jack points, mine doesn't fit either in its resting position. I had to pump and hold the handle all the way down for the jack to clear the front lip. Even in this position I probably had like 1/2" to 1" of space between the jack and the front lip. This is probably why I wont buy a larger floor jack.
If my car was lowered I'm afraid I'd have to buy one of those long flat jacks to lift it.

I ended up getting this jack from Harbor Freight:

Because the front jack point is back a bit, the raised part of the jack gets much too close to the front bumper for my liking. Especially if the car is lowered, I can't imagine this jack will work. Maybe this one would have been a better option???:
