Start with some kind of plan, which means you have to ask yourself a lot of questions.
What shape do you want to end up with? They can be trained into an 'umbrella', a long 'vine', a pyramid or even a ground cover of sorts.

The best way to stake is with wood. It can take years for the stem (or wood) to develop enough strength to hold itself up. The nicest ones I have seen were trained straight up to about 10-12 feet and allowed to grow limbs and needles without much pruning. You may have to prune the excess growth around the lower parts, then tend to grow most foliage low, close to the ground.

You have yourself quite a challenge. If you can find someone who has a plant like yours that has a shape you like or an experienced plant person (a local) you may find better help than anything you can find on the web.

I am not much help. Good luck. I do best with flowering plants....
