Those wings are for the birds...so to speak.
True, some are better designed and maintained than others. But a good one should stay in place even under the weight of your head and should need a very hard shove to push it back into place.
The cleverest design that I've seen is the one on BA's economy seats (but alas not fitted to World Traveller Plus). These wings fold down rather than in, as their hinge runs horizontally at the bottom of the wing. This way, there is virtually no chance of them stowing by accident under the weight of your head while you're asleep.
