Dipstick

My dipstick is a real pain in the *** to put back in after checking the oil. Is this normal? There doesn't seem to be any certain way to turn it to make it go in easier, it seems to have a mind of it's own. One check it will go in perfectly, then the next I spend five minutes twisting and turning it trying to get it to settle correctly.

It is, slightly. I thought it was normal though? The chamber it goes into is bent, i figured the dipstick was like that for a reason. Even inserting it following the bend doesn't really help, so I've assumed they are all like that.
