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.
Get duplicates.

I have 3 copies of the remote control for my cable set top box. The cable company actually sends them out for free -- all you need to do is ask.
