There's basically 2 way you can go about it, you can have the left side of the helmet facing up, or the right side. On my Shoei, the D rings on the left side, I usually attach the helmet with the left side facing up towards the seat.
I have the same experience with my RF-1100. It's a stretch to get it to connect, and then awkward to operate the key. Geometry on my old Shadow's helmet latch worked much better (and was spring-operated; didn't need the key to close).
Maybe running the strap as if I was wearing it at the time would be easier to get it on the hook. Wouldn't help prevent theft, but more secure than resting it on the mirror.
Yeah, anyone looking at a helmet attached to a bike there would assume its securely locked in place. Might be easy to just strap it in place like you're saying.
