To reall grease it in, try to avoid landing for as long as possible. In other words, come down your approach, then start your flair and try to keep the plane from touching down as long as you can. You should float along just inches from the ground and settle right in on the mains before the nosewheel touches. As you've discovered, on trike geared planes, you need to get the mains down before the nosewheel. On grass it's a bit easiler, you can do all at once, or even the nose first by a hair and get away with it due to the breaking action of the grass.
