Fear not, its an acquired skill, soon mastered. I find it easiest to do it from outside the car, standing by the open drivers door. Under the seat there are ends of wire rods protruding from the outside toward the middle of the seat, make sure that the grooves in the side of the tray are engaged with these, push it in as far as it goes easily then give the front of the drawer a biff rearward with the heel of your hand and hey presto ........!
Most times you don't need to take it right out, and then the biff is all it needs to get it back in.
I keep a first aid kit in mine, what do others use it for?

On older models(My M49 at least) the drawer under the driver's seat is just large enough to hold the manual and registration/insurance papers, so that's where they're supposed to stay.
Of course, at least some of those have an open glove compartment(it's more like a messed up shelf), so...
