Malchus, monarchy, is a term that is used only when one is ruling over being similar to the monarch. The lion is the king of beasts, but no one would refer to a person in charge of animals as the king over the animals. He may direct them, he may own them, but he is not their king.
How then is Hashem the king over man? We aren't gods! We are not on his level; not in His sphere or dimension.
Within the question lies the answer. The fact that Hashem chooses to describe Himself as our King, is His way of letting us know that we are Godlike. That we were created in His image and have Godly characteristics and abilities.
Now it's our job to discover how it is that we are Godlike and to implement those characteristics in our lives.
