When I can remember, I like to store my spare tube--the one that goes in my seat wedge bag on the bike--in a Ziploc bag that's got a couple of spoonfuls of talcum powder in it. I make sure it gets a thorough shaking before I shove it into the bag.
The powder makes it slide more readily onto the rim, and helps prevent the dreaded pinch-flats.
