Question: I seem to be the only one in my house capable of putting the remote in the same spot. 

How can I solve the "I can't find the remote problem"?

Answer: 
Rather than attaching something to the remote, make a place for it that is more attractive/easy to use:

Various places sell sofa-side magazine holders, or trays. Have one of these on the most useful end of the sofa. Use tape to mark out a silhouette of the remote (or remotes, as many of us have) and tag it with the name of the remote.

This should help encourage usage. To further help, why not gamify the process, with points for each member of the family who places the remote correctly or loses points for failing to do so. Top points at end of week wins a prize.
I use self-sealing Velcro touch fasteners bands that I put on the back of the remote control and on the element it is related to (pedestal of the TV, body of the iPod docking station, table, etc).

Then, this system only needs discipline to work : you take the remote control, you use it. Once you are finished, you put it back on the Velcro band.
