Why don't you use the Dead-Squat Bar, /fit/? It provides all the benefits of the deadlift and squat with none of the limitations of using a conventional bar – from one single lift.

It's called a trap bar or a hex bar.
It mimics neither a squat nor a deadlift, instead it is pretty similar to a leg press.

No, this is the Dead-Squat Bar, carefully engineered by Biotest. Comparing it to a trap bar is like comparing a MacBook Pro to a laptop.

Works the quads and upper back/traps much harder than conventional deads as well as being easier on the lower back. It's a lot of fun to use but stick with conventional for best glute and hamstring development.
