I asked the question can a person put himself into a dangerous situation and then use deadly force?

What does that even mean? Zimmerman could have started a fist fight with Martin but the moment Martin start cracking head into the cement Zimmerman could have shot him for fear of his life. As it was Martin attacked him, smashed his head into the ground, and then tried to take Zimmerman’s gun from him. If he’d gotten it free without a doubt Zimmerman would have been dead.
