Hmm, I've never really had this problem and I wear the ultrathin, extra moist versions. it will sometimes invert as I remove it from the case but a grab it with the other fingers roll it around and bring it back to shape and stick it in.

From time to time I do have issues with it sticking to my finger more than it stuck to my eyeball, so I put it in and then pull it back out. It takes finding the right balance of wetness on my finger. I've actually had to press it on extra firmly and roll it around in my eye and try and rotate my finger away to get it to stick.

but sticking your finger into your eye is horrible.
It may sound like it but it's actually quite easy. I tend to mount the lens a little off center so I am not jambing it right on my cornea. A few blinks and they line up and roata (I wear torroid lense for astigmatism).
