I have several comments here and some of them will definitely not be popular comments. First, I cannot stand those little packets of butter that come to you FROZEN! Who in the world serves hot bread with frozen butter? When this happens I very untactfully sneak it under my thigh or hold it between my hands to warm the butter. Yes I know that sounds disgusting, but I really don't care, I hate frozen butter on my nice warm bread. Once I warm the butter up at spreads quite nicely whether I use it with a knife or just plop the thing on the bread. Actually, I never plop it on the bread. I always use a knife. I do it as described by an earlier poster by partially unwrapping it and being able to hold the butter by the wrapper. Next, you can always request that you receive butter in one of the small sauce cups. I find this much easier to manage. However, you must specify butter because oftentimes restaurants will only have margarine for these containers. There are my deep dark tacky secrets.
