I am on more or less the exact same schedule. My nap is not solid 90 minutes yet so I am planning to reduce my core sleep until it spans 90 minutes.

Mixing monophasic and biphasic does not work for me. I get naturally tired in the evening up to a point where it feels like I have to sleep. When I face situations like you describe I try to get at least a 30 minutes nap or to sleep earlier. This works pretty well for me.
