Soft How can I take full advantage of a soft step Graduatedgraduated ND filter with Crop Sensora crop sensor?

I have a Singh ray 2 stop Graduated ND with soft step. I find it very difficult When iwhen I uses themit with canonmy Canon 17-40 f4L lens on my Canon t2iT2i, which is a crop sensory body. The problem i face is that since

Since it is soft step, iI am not able to use the darkest part of it  (which is true 2 stop-stop) for the bright part of the scene. In the holder i, I have to move the filter all the way down, which bringbrings the soft dark part of the filter ononto the part of scene which is not properly illuminated. And — and this results in a bad exposure.

Does anybody else face same problem, and if yes, how do you get around it?
