Good grief...I just read my post again. Believe it or not I actually have a formal education under my belt.
Anyhooo...
To answer your question, I typically arrange the pad(s) and sleeping bag diagonally (the HH hammocks are designed to sleep in diagonally if you did not already know that) such that all I have to do is turn, sit and lay back into position. The "door" automatically closes behind you and velcro's shut. Then, grab the pad(s) under your ribs with your left hand, press down and over with the right hand on the opposite side of the hammock under your hips, thereby scooting your torso over into a more diagonal aspect inside the hammock. Then, arrange a jacket or whatever clothing you happen to be wearing next to your shoulders/elbows, zip up the bag and go nighty-night. Like anything it takes some getting used to, but it is easier to do than explain.
Good luck.
