On the stairs, start in that elevated push up position you describe. Pike your legs and bend at the waist, walking your hands back toward the stairs until you are in an overhead press position. This is a modified handstand push up and can help you work your way up to the real thing. You could also use a wall to get up into a handstand, and slowly lower yourself to the ground to build strength through the pressing range of motion once these get too easy.
