Two things can help you buy. Buying at ask and avoiding the "All-or-None" special instruction. You'll need to take your chances with the latter though because you might end with a a partial fill only. With good amount of shares available at the ask you have a pretty good chance of getting all the shares you want on one or several fills. Also never change your buy price after the first partial buy (or sell) or it will be considered a new order and you pay a new commission.

Both buying at ask and "None" at the same time can give you a better chance if you want to get in badly.
