For the life of me I can't figure out why you guys are having this
problem unless you are using stripped-down versions of the K3 sans
amplifier, ATU, etc. which would mean a lighter rig, I suppose. Or else
the surface your K3s are sitting on have been waxed or polished.
I can push and hold any button on the front panel, including those on
the left side, and the rig simply doesn't move. It's sitting smack dab
on top of an FT-1000D with all four K3 feet in contact with the painted
top, no bail being used, and it is completely rock-squat-dead-immovable
with ANY button activation.
But again, check out my earlier post today about a substance called
HOLD-IT (or derivations therefrom). It would definitely solve your
problem with no adverse side-effects.

Testing just now shows that with the bail extended to raise the front
of the rig it doesn't slide around. With the rig resting flat on all
four feet it is fairly easy to make it slide, especially when pushing
buttons on the left side.
I use a rectangle of clear, ribbed plastic shelf liner as a mat under
the rig and another under a Kex Key to prevent unwanted movement. Very
effective.
