Pump like buggery.
When I put tyres on my Stans rims as you've described one went on straight away with a track pump but the other needed a compressor at a friendly car garage to get it to seat. If you haven't put the sealant in yet then you could try a CO2 inflator thingy.
soapy water / watery soap
Compressor makes it much easier...and soapy water or foam on rim and tyre to help all slide into place.
Benn's garage, over the road from Sainsburys.
Give us a shout if you need the presta>>fatthing adaptor.
Own a compressor. And not just one of those little tyre inflators they sell in B&Q, a proper one with a reservoir and decent airflow. Makes it easy.
Try to convince the seal that tubless is the future - point out the combined advantages of lower rolling resistances and an absence of pinch punctures, especially at low pressures. If none of the above work, try bribing with fish - should do the trick.
