If you have a thick crash mat, you could practice tucking without worrying about untucking before you land. For instance, I used a crash mat under a heavy bad to get the feel for a double leg jump side kick. I landed in a side fall. When you get the feel for tucking the leg and you have enough air, then get rid of the crash mat.

if you think of always jumping up like a knees to the chest jump, then you will automaticaly bring both legs up, and tucking the trailing leg in wont be a problem.
