If you think your fingers are too big to fit three fingers within one fret then try just using one finger...

Place your middle finger on the 2nd fret (D string) and then roll it down so that it covers the 2nd frets (G and B strings). When doing this, you'll have to push down on the tip of your finger while also lifting the back end (so you don't touch the hi E string. This is tough to get use to here, but can help with more complex chords later on.

(and of course your fingers aren't too fat... just look at Yngwie). :D
