Move the passenger seat all the way forward, take the front tire off the bike, turn the bars all the way to the right and put it in with the left drop over the 'shoulder' of the passenger seat. It helps if your bike is light, as it's kind of hard to lift it off the seat from the angle of standing at the back (not sure if that makes any sense). Once I got the hang of it, it was quick and easy. Makes it hard to take someone else in the car with you as they'll get a handlebar in the back though.

Once it's in, there is room for other stuff in the back, too. I tried it with my H's bike and it wouldn't work. His was a 56cm. Mine is a 48cm.
