I always have placed them in a glass of water, then when the split and i can see the whit of the root, I place them root side down, gently, with my hands into the soil. Its not completly in the soil germination, but I think it helps. That initial inch of taproot that people allow to grow in the towel could have been anchoring the plant into the soil, and promoting a stronger root system. I even think it causes them to stretch less, also I could see it developing its fine root system earlier, even if its only by a few days.
