I accidently knocked a couple of keys off my keyboard when cleaning it and find it really hard to get them back into place...Is there a trick to this?

not at all, my son was banging on the keyboard two days ago and the question mark key just jumped off the keyboard, i re-centered and pushed it back in place

There is no hard and fast rule. But If it's just the upper keys and not their internal structure, then they're very easy to put back on otherwise it could get very tiring.

Please see this thread which discussed some points to consider about popping those keys back to their original positions.
