A very easy way to shorten your staple is to use the excellent staple cutter tool from Weber Reeds.

It's not cheap, but it lasts quite some time. When the cutting blades get dull, the business end of the tool can be replaced.
To use the staple cutter, insert the end into the staple, apply a bit of pressure, and twist so that the blades cut into the metal and remove some. After using the staple cutter, there's usually some cork left over that wasn't removed so I use a coarse emery board to remove any overhanging cork, then I follow it up with a tiny bristle brush or pipe cleaner to remove any particles that got into the staple.
