I did two different Cubs with PTT on top of stick. Dressing for winter and big boots wiped both of them off eventually. My favorite now is in front just below my pinky, been using the Velcro one ever since.

Use a different push button switch. This pic shows the switch I use, buried in the stick ball. Very low profile target for boots.

I was ferrying a customer's airplane to my place for inspection and while landing at a controlled field the PTT putton came out and feel somewhere on the floor. Luckily I could use the ball point pen in my pocket to push the inside of what was left to talk to the tower. The buttons that use to be common and had the issue of the top coming off don't seem to be available anymore. The new ones seem to be made batter.
Stuck mics reveal a lot about some people's understanding of simplex VHF coms. Every time there is a stuck mic multiple people will chime in with "Stuck mic, check your mic!" How can they not realize that the only person who can do anything to fix the problem cannot possibly hear the transmissions.....
