I use the plastic patch kit box as the 'anvil', and the rounded end of a tire lever to apply the pressure to make sure the patch seals well to the tube.
Also, I leave the clear plastic on the patch if I'm reinstalling immediately. That makes sure I don't pull the patch free. If using the patched tube as a spare, I'll remove the plastic after the patch has had a suitably long time to cure. Bending the patched area a bit will often open up a split in the plastic, so it can be peeled off center-to-edge.
