I put the back down on my quilt table with the very big 2 inch binder quilts. You an get one containter from Staples for a reasonable price. I just clip the backing to my quilt table, place the batting and top on and then either pin, or baste depending on whether I am going to machine quilt or hand quilt.

Do you stretch the backing before you pin? I use masking tape (If the table top is too thick, or if it's on the floor) If you are pinning on a table, you can use big binder clips to secure the quilt backing. Then put the batting and top on to pin. This usually prevents the bunching that leads to pleats on the back.
