Catching powder from a powder measure?

I've begun using the Lee Perfect Powder Measure to throw charges. I hadn't realized how appropriate the verb "throw" is because when I try to "catch" the powder coming out of the device in a regular scale pan the powder actually bounces and half of it ends up on my table!

Is there any trick or accessory for "catching" powder coming out of a powder measure? I've tried various household cups, but haven't found one that not only fits underneath but also can subsequently pour into my scale pan without spilling, sticking, or static cling. Best so far has been a Lenox teacup, but even that has problems with a few granules sticking, and my wife doesn't like me storing it on my reloading table ;)
 
Same here.

Just put the pan nearly in contact with the drop tube, throw the charge, and then lower the pan and let the powder run into it.
