This is probably not very scientific but I always release the nut the same number of turns and when it goes on again it goes with the same number of turns again.
My finger twist naturally do a quarter turn nut so I count 10 quarter turns each time.

Hi VELOcete,
You don't mention if your bike has a quick release or not. Also are you lifting the bike onto the wheel or inserting the wheel into an upturned bike ? if the former it may be that you're not holding your bike quite vertical and tightening down with the wheel askew. Try once fitting the wheel with the bike resting upside down to see if the axle seats properly in the fork and then tighten up and spin wheel to see if you've got a wobble.

Cheers

Chris
