Hanging off the pillow works, also I find that turning my head slightly into the pillow. Not enough to block the vents, but means you are slightly laying on the mask. Seems to help.

You need a pillow that's relatively thick and sturdy, with a small footprint. I like the Papillow. I recommend ordering an extra pillowcase along with.
