You're doing it right. Warm engine, parked on level ground, turn off the engine, pull ATF dipstick for a reading. The "HOT" marking is to remind that the level should be taken only on a warm engine. When the engine is running, fluid is circulated up into the torque convertor that drains down to the pan when the engine is cold.
FWIW, I hate the transmission disptick in the Honda 6 speed. I always found it really hard to read, and would take reading after reading trying to get a good look. Bleh. Good luck!
