VF Log A Call page with values populated by the RelatedTo

Can anyone point me in the right direction where I could find out how to pass the value of a picklist on the Account object to a similar picklist on VF Log A Call page. I am trying to create a dependent picklist on my VF Log A Call page but have the value predefined by a picklist value on the realted Account page.

I take it I place the code within my Extension?  
public with sharing class LogACallControllerExtension {

    public Task task {get; set;}

    public LogACallControllerExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
            this.task = (Task)controller.getRecord();
            this.task.whatId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('what_id');    
            this.task.subject = 'Outside Sales Call';    // or      this.task.subject = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('tsk5');
            this.task.type = 'Call';
            this.task.status = 'Completed';
            this.task.activitydate = Date.today();
    }
    
    public List<SelectOption> getvalues()
{
  List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
        
 Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult =  Account.Market_Segment__c.getDescribe();
      List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ple = fieldResult.getPicklistValues();
        
   for( Schema.PicklistEntry f : ple)
   {
      options.add(new SelectOption(f.getLabel(), f.getValue()));
   }       
   return options;
}
}

Use this code to get the picklist values
