Man, I hate those things. They're fine for semi-permanent connections, but when it comes to using them for siphoning, it's kind of a pain.
I have found one thing though that helps, and I had a little idea that might also be good.
First off, if the connection is solid, but just not quite air-tight, a little electrical tape does the trick. Or, I actually use silicone tape. It's just a little strip of silicone that adheres to itself without any adhesive. Neat stuff.
The other thing I've been wondering about is something like this:

If they had a little extended plastic doohickey on the end so you could use them without pliers, those would be perfect... I hate needing a screwdriver on beer days.
