What are some good Kneebar setups?

I don`t really use kneebars much but if I have an armbar from the guard, the guy stands up and his arm is slipping out I`ll hook his leg and switch to a knee bar or omoplata.
 
i like knee-bar from the handstand or omo plata sweep from the guard.
 
one move that i have been thinking about is a kneebar from side control, if they put their foot on the knee to prevent mount. that shit is just hanging out there, and i was thinking you could fall to the side of the other leg to possibly pin it so they cant kick their way out of the kneebar.
 
Kneebar is pretty much my second favorite sub, after the almight omoplata. Favorite setups:

Half guard (no brainer ... I like to set it up by faking the choke and then spinning).
Side control (particularly when the knee to prevent mount is up).
Turtle (loooove this one).
Open guard (any time you get an underhook, the kneebar is there).
Omoplata finish (if he's sprawled out ... switch to the kneebar).
Scarfhold (amazing how easy this one is. You literally just step over, take the knee ... and done. A lot of times your opponent will foolishly think he is getting some sort of halfguard by jumping into the kneebar!)
