It'll get easier with practice.
For some it doesn't because they're locked into one mode of thinking and never learn alternate and better ways of doing a particular job. And look on the bright side, unlike many folders out there, the Brompton allows rear wheel removal in the upright 'parked' position. With most other bikes you have to flip the bike upside down or lay it on it's side. Do this in inclement weather and road grime can foul the frame, pedals, seat and/or grips. Not so with the Brommie.
