I have a hard time imagining that it can be done with a full-size bike unless, maybe, it's on the very small size. (The OP says he knows it can be done yet doesn't know how to do it.)
I use one of these:

Total 86.5" for the outer dimensions. The depth is 11" alone. Wheels off and stacked on top of the frame, pedals off, bars off and turned and fork turned and my 60cm LHT fits snug depth wise. If I had only 62" I would be left with only another 50" total for length and width.
OP: Measure the length of your frame, possibly with the fork turned 90 degrees to save space, from the tip of the rear dropout to the most forward frame point. Subtract that number from 62 and you will know what you have left for height and depth. That, in turn should give you a better idea of whether or not it can be done.
This is my frame packed. The racks do not require a larger box because they take of dead space.
