no matter what IMO it should be shoulder width stance, toes slightly outward.

shoulder width stance, and sumo stance train different muscles. if you want quads trained more, go with rob's advice.... a wider stance trains more towards the hamstrings than the quads.

and leg press should be working your quads more than the hams anyway, unless your doing them some weird way.

same kind of stance for squats, get those legs shoulder width apart for more quad work. sumo stances usually allow you to do mor ebecause your going less distance

(correct me if im wrong too lol, this is what i thought was true).

start front squatting and when you squat do the typical BB'er aka high bar squat. also are you doing anything else for your legs other than leg press/squat? people tend to forget about other exercises like lunges and such, but they are a killer and unilateral stuff coupled with short RI's really gets you conditioned aerobically, whoever doesn't agree should try 3-4 sets of split squats with No RI and hitting like 8 reps with each leg.

when doing leg press the higher up you place your feet on the pad, the more hammies you'll be using.
