The Tac-n-Stik posting has some good suggestions. Here are a couple
of variations.

1. Rather than use tac-n-stik, I usually use this procedure to
initially position the part:

a. melt solder onto a corner pad (without the part)
b. keep the iron on the pad while...
c. using tweezers to guide the part into place.

Don't worry about getting a good looking joint yet. You just need
mechanical stability and can always touch up the soldering later. If
you're unhappy with the position, all you have to do is remelt the
solder on the corner pad and move the part with the tweezers. When
you like the position, solder the opposite corner to secure it.

2. The drench-and-wick trick works well, and I do use it for parts
with extremely fine pitch. However, if you have a strong magnifier or
microscope and a good quality iron with a fine tip, it is possible to
just solder each leg in the traditional way. In that case, I'll still
use the wick when I (inevitably) goof and bridge two or more pins.
