I have a home gym and I'm looking for alternatives to the leg press and leg curl in the plan.
Squat for Legpress. I generally do a front squat.For legs curls... I'd squat or maybe lunge.My motto is, when in doubt, squat.
Glute ham raise instead of hamstring curls. Stick your feet under something heavy, like a power rack. You could also hold on to a bar of some sort to help control the motion.Example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44DAxF6bneY
Alright, well what about the angled calf press? Should we just do regular standing calf raises, or is there some other, better exercise to use?
Do them unilaterally! I find standing calf raises hard to load properly, since I don't have a machine for it, but on one leg you don't need as much weight.

I've never been able to feel or get into a proper groove with single leg calf raises.

Have you considered doing them using a dip belt instead of a barbell?
