push them down hard, if that doesnt work, buy new plugs and wires, and make sure that they stay down.

Something to check on the wires that are coming up: shine a flashlight down in the plug holes. If you can't see the hex nut part of the spark plugs, the rubber from your old wires is stuck on there. It's a pretty common problem. It happened to me and I used a fillet knife to pry the rubber pieces up.
