I assume you are talking about self closing hinges made by such as
Amerock.  What I do is put a small cardboard shim inside the hinge to hold
it open a bit so that when the hinge is attached to the door the side to
be attached to the frame is in a paralle plane.  Depending on the
cardboard you may have to use one or more pieces, and even shim with some
paper.  Once you get a couple made save them and you can reuse as often as
necessary.  Mine are about 2" long and 1/4" side.

This works fine for me.
