I've had my PEG for three years now, but there are still good new tricks to learn, so keep the ideas coming!
Generally, I just tuck the PEG into my waistband and that seems to work, though. I have had it "peek out" at least once that I'm aware of. I was guest-teaching someone else's class and didn't realize until it was over. I'm sure it distracted those students pretty thoroughly....
