Coilpack question/problem?

Noticed that almost every time I open my bonnet coil pack 3 isn't sitting properly. Its almost popped out. I normally just push it back in and think nothing of it.

It doesn't seem to make any difference if its slightly out but I was wondering if it is going to do anything detrimental?
And what causes it, and is there a way to stop it?

I had this happen to mine since i had it. Eventually the coil pack popped off so much, it caused a missfire. It was due to the spark plug not being torqued up enough and pressure was escaping from the combustion chamber and pushing the coil pack off the plug. Just tighten the plug up, it should stop it completely.
