Kimmer, Place the finger you use for Touch ID on the home button. Press the home button but leave your finger there. In theory, the phone will unlock and you will be placed on your home screen or wherever you last left it. What you mentioned before about pressing the power/lock button while a finger is on the home button would also work.
