You could use bluetack or something in lieu of glue, it's not as if they're very heavy and glue might cause some damage. Or put them into a container and don't shake the container. As soon as the paint is dry it will be fairly tough, so as long as the figures are plastic and no metal, there is very little force involved and the paint should stay where it should. You could varnish the figures for extra strength, but that is probably not necessary. Now if they were big (1" or more) metal miniatures I'd suggest packing them into foam figure storage boxes or attaching them somewhere where they could stand (layout or a separate base)
