This is assuming you are right handed? Hold the muffin cup in the palm of your flat left hand, fingers open. Hold it slightly over the bowl. Use a small scoop, like one of those plastic coffee scoops that have one end like a square spout-like shape. If you don't have one, a deep measuring spoon should do. It's too hard to use it with a shallow anything. Dip this into the bowl, tap to drop excess, then upend it into the cup.
Another idea could be that you could use a pastry bag. I've never used it for batter though, just icing for cookies and such. You could also just set the cups into the muffin tin and use a small cup. Something with a smaller mouth than a measuring cup. A coffee scoop could be used here too. Set down newspaper before you start. That'll help with the mess as well. Quite frankly, I really don't make messes when I bake so it's always interesting when other people do. Hope I was able to help.
