On ones that stick out I usually trim to fit flush. For springs that hard to put in, I will usually lay a toothpick(temporarily) under the spring to cause it to bend slightly as it goes in, then remove the tooth pick, Sometimes I use a 1/16" pin punch in the same manner. Bending the long part causes the short part to also bend slightly making it more aligned with the hole in the frame. Too much bend, however, might break the part. I only use this method for ones that are really stubborn to go into place.
