Hey man, the best way to train a specific exercise for reps is to do it repeatedly throughout the day. If you can do 10 knee pushups, do 7 throughout the day every few hours. Do it for about a week, eat properly, and rest a day then try for real pushups. Going to failure, especially at this point, wouldn't be advisable in my opinion. Planks are a really good idea and alternative though. Simply being in the pushup position for an extended period of time can toast a lot of people. If you are going to do planks, do the knee pushups less so you don't over do it. Strength comes fast starting out but if you start training your nervous system (see first sentence) instead of frying your muscles, it will come even faster.
