I would say that you need to first setup your camera correctly with the backplate as reference in the scene, then when you have a nice match up render the model without the backplate in the scene, in another app like PhotoShop or Gimp you can create a background layer and use your backplate for that layer. You would also probably want shadows on your backplate, so probably place a plane underneath your model and use an alpha render of your model to keep only the shadow and your model.
