Lay in bed (bonus) close to the edge. raise your leg and bring it over top of the other leg and hang it down off the bed. You are very welcome. You may need to use a strap to bring it across better as well. I LOVE that stretch

I do a version of that but the foam roller is in place of the bed.

Don't forget to target the glute medius and maximus as well, which both form the IT band along with the TFL. I do this exercise a few times a week with ankle weights, along with a lot of band exercises.

I didn't realize you were into S&M! Carry on....

Can you elaborate a bit? Are you lying down on your back? Or seated?

Great exercise for conditioning knees
A must for beginner runners!

lay on your side. It's a good old fashion leg lift - the sort of calisthenics I saw my mom do when I was little - with the foot externally rotated. This link has a little video

Yes the glute medius... when I do work on my glute medius by doin lateral band side walks and monster walks my IT always feels better.

I've been religiously doing leg raises like your Mom for decades and along with stretching it has seemed to work to avoid the IT band issues I had in my youth. I'll try them with the foot rotation.
