Make an unshakeable habit of putting the valve cap in your pocket
whenever you inflate a tire. If you forget to put it back on, at
least you'll have it with you, and small parts in your pocket never
get bumped off the tube'n'tool tote and roll into a ditch.

The muffin-tin trick is quite acceptable when you are taking something
apart in the comfort of your own workshop, but if you don't have a
table to set it on, a container of loose parts is sooner or later
gonna get kicked.
