I place the diaper on a table and mark where I want the lower tape, I do not fasten them now.
When I am ready to put the diaper on I sit and then fasten the lower tapes around my legs. I then stand up and pull up the diaper and fasten the upper tapes for a snug fit.
I works for me.

As others have said first prep the diaper by folding it lengthwise to form a V-shaped channel. Then stand against a wall with the back of the diaper between you and the wall and bring the front of the diaper forward between your legs. But before applying the first tape reach "waaaay back under" and physically make sure the leak guards and elastic gathers are not twisted and are resting firmly against your body/legs and not riding up on anything else. Only then should you pull the front top of the diaper firmly upwards and apply the tapes. Personally I apply the top tapes first. They will hold the diaper in place and give me time to get the general fit of the diaper, and position of the lower tapes just right. However most apply the bottom tapes first, which is fine, and you will just have to experiment to find which method works best for you.
When you do the "fit check" you will find that much of the time the gathers were not resting firmly in contact with your body/leg which is absolutely critical to prevent leaks. Give this a try, you just might be surprised to find that the fit in this critical leak prone area isn't quite as good as you thought.
