It sounds like you're hitting a problem that bugged me for a while. The ear has a right angle bend in it to protect the sensitive bits from nasty surprises. If you put a plug in so that it hits that bend instead of going round it they end up half-way in and get knocked out easily.

When mine are in properly they are pretty much flush with the side of my head, and stay that way. When I pull them out you can see they are bent about half-way down.

The only secret was to keep trying until I got the knack of pulling the top of my ear back while inserting the squished plug

Hope this helps,

Keith.
