    What methods are you using?
    Using pegs to hold the corners as you try and get it in?
    Are you using the inside out method?
    The chuck all in and rummage around method?

    Feck, I need to get out of this dress and get back into trousers! :D

    Why would a quilt need a cover? Unless you mean a duvet?

    Seems to me the OP is using the most advanced of all methods - The "change the duvet cover whilst posing on boards" approach.

    Always difficult

    Inside out method is the best. Just grab 2 corners and roll it on voila

    Ah come on its not that hard.....
    Just push both corners into the bottom opening of the sheet and grab the corresponding cornets of the duvet and snap the duvet a few times Simples!!
    Just think of the fresh sheeted goodness later when your going to bed...
    Or just get someone to give you a hand.

    I've tried the chuck it in and hope for the best and although i find this the quickest it seems to be a lucky dip at night whether your under 5 layers of duvet/quilt or just the sheet

    My dog can't manage to fit a doovay cover either and we make him sleep in a nest of shredded paper. Maybe you should try that?

    I favour the "don't have a duvet cover" approach. It's just as comfortable without one.
    I also don't use pillow cases and don't have a sheet on my mattress

    Get a dressmaker to fit velcro around 3 sides of the cover. Then open up, lay quilt on top and velcro up.
