Wash your fingers before you put in, pick up the contact, then transfer from finger to finger, drying fingers as you go, until the contact between finger and contact is no longer wet. Moisture makes them stick, in my experience.
Once the contact between finger and lens is dry, transfer to your pointer finger and then put a single drop of saline solution in the center of the contact lens to make that wet (and ergo, sticky) and also to lessen the chance of catching an air bubble beneath the lens. Air bubbles practically guarantee you will blink the lens out.
If the lens skews sideways and the edge touches your finger (the bowl tips over, as it were) make sure to reset the lens before you try again. It needs to be a round little suction cup for it to achieve stasis on your eye.
Once the contact is on your eye, lower your upper eyelid slowly with your finger controlling to squeegee any air bubbles (and the saline) out from under the lens.
When I'm no longer traveling, I'll see if I can get mindways to take a video if me putting mine in, to illustrate what I'm doing.
