I find one of the best options for our patients that have an issue with a temporary coming out is to use a denture adhesive (polygrip, etc.) because it is tacky and helps to stick and suction the temporary crown. You can get this at any grocery store.Oddly enough, I have patients who have used chewing gum as well, although I make sure they are using sugar free (Orbit, Trident, etc.)You can use a number of things that as just a little tacky or sticky but they can't be too thick and it doesn't take much. Just make sure you do your best to wipe away any excess. If these don't work well for you contact your dentist and either have them re-cement it for you or get your crown back from the lab quicker if possible.

Although I always cement my temporaries, if the prepared teeth are very parallel and the temporary crowns fit well, I think you can get away without using cement. It can be very difficult to remove a well fitting cemented temporary crown, in such a case, cutting it off could be the only option....
It would appear that these are temporary crowns which is good but they should not be causing bleeding and pain . Please go back to the dentist and have him/her check them.The blister behind the tooth may be due to some excess material . The margins of the temporaries may need to be smoothed...
I agree with Dr.Borowski...it breaks because the temporary is too thin which means that there is minimal or not enough reduction on the tooth itself. If the crown is going to be gold, it may be OK as it only needs a millimeter of thickness. Porcelain needs more thickness so the tooth may need to...
