I am also a short man, but I spend a great deal of time watching video to see how I can also improve my stature.
As mentioned by some, I take great care to stand up straight during time outs. I also mirror this behavior when setting up in my position, Lead, C and Trail.
One thing that I didn't see mentioned is when you are reporting fouls, make sure all your signals are shoulder level if not higher. My own personal preference is shoulder level. But I have seen taller officials, use a lower "box" and go below shoulder level. They can get away with it cause they still look imposing. At a shorter height, we can't get away with that, we need to stand straight deliver a crisp shoulder level signal and that will give the impression of "height".
