The (imho) easiest way to install packages from proposed is like this:

First of all enable proposed:
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ 
$(lsb_release -sc)-proposed restricted main"
(depending on the Ubuntu release you might need to do an "sudo apt update" now 
to update your archive indices.)

Next step could be to check for any available packages (and from which archive 
they come from) like this:
apt-cache policy <package>

Now have (at least) the following three options:
1)
in case the package you are looking for has the newest version (which is very 
likely the case) just do:
sudo apt-get install <package>
2) 
Provide a specific package version during installation (update):
sudo apt-get install <package>=1.23.4.5.67
3)
Point to a specific archive where the package you are going to install should 
be taken from:
sudo apt-get -t $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed install <package>

[Replace <package> with a valid package name.]
