Depends upon where you're starting. From guard, an arm drag is one good way, or from a deep underhook.
I like to cup their elbow as they posture up and drive it across their body as I break down their posture. If it ends up high, I can work for an armbar or a head/arm choke. If it's nice and low, pinned between their body and mine, I can begin to work to their back.
Usually you force him to escape from something else and that gets you there!

Great point. Often, from mount, your opponent will give up his back. I tend to try and snag an arm when this happens, but if you ride it out, you'll often end up on his back.

Omoplata more than the armbar, I would think. From the omoplata, if the technique is blown, you're likely to end up with a turtled opponent. Taking the back is one of many possibilities from there.
