What tweezers are you using? If you haven't considered them, try bronze or brass. Make sure they are well dressed and come together properly at the tip - no gap! Most parts flying away comes from either improper technique, or tweezers that are not in top shape.
The mistake many make is that when they have a small part they really want to not lose, they squeeze harder. This is counterproductive. Better to have the part "fall" out of my tweezers and land in front of me on the bench from not gripping hard enough, then to go sailing off into the sunset because I wanted to hold it tightly...
Cheers, Al
