Adding to the plywood idea, for a really solid "no movement" key, drill
holes in the plywood that match the feet on the paddles - so the paddle
feet fit into the holes.
The real key to the solution is to extend the plywood out to the front
of the paddles so that your hand rests on the plywood. The paddles and
your hand will always be in alignment, no matter where the plywood and
paddle combination is placed on the desk. Your hand secures the plywood
and the plywood holds the paddle in place.
That worked well for me until I bought a paddle from K3ZN which has more
than enough weight on the base to keep it solid.

I found my key moved around a bit much for me but had difficulty finding
something to make it sticky. I finally removed the feet and replaced them
with some 5 ply plywood used for model aircraft. You can find it at the
hobby stores and hardware stores. It is 1/4" thick. That provides a surface
to which the next layer adheres nicely.
