I can't get my gel pack out of my back pocket and then get it open to eat! I know this sounds really beginnerish, but what tricks or tools can I use to be able to have my food more accessible?

Question from Infosteward:

I have question about nutrition on the long course. I know you're supposed to get nutrition on the bike, but I find it really difficult to maneuver. I can't get my gel pack out of my back pocket and then get it open to eat!
