I need to come up with better language. I searched for a video and there really isn't a good example but my shop has been using this trick for 30 years and it works pretty well.
Instead of immediately trying to seat the bead into the rim, push the bead up along with the tube. This should push the slightly inflated tube into the "well" of the rim. Once the tube is in the rim, you can seat the bead onto the rim.
