I do slanted leg presses with lighter weight, toes turned slightly out on the platform

Also squats (again with less weight--don't go too heavy or you'll strain something) and same turned out foot position, feet shoulder with apart with knees going to the sides,  and not going too deep to be sure your knees do not pass over your feet.

Think ballet plie.  ;D

Grab an anklet from the cable station...attach yourself and do both internal rotation at the hip as well as adduction. This is as good as it get's in my opinion, for that area.

Regular lunges with a barbell and the adductor machine have always worked for me.

Wide stance smith squats.  2 sets 20 reps at the end of your leg day Garreth. Depending on your routine and needs add them on another day during the week also. Bomb these hard. They respond fast. Lots of good advice in this thread..

Side step ups onto a bench.  Increase resistance by using db's or a barbell on your back.  Don't allow yourself to cheat with the leg thats not on the bench.
