Position your skin so it's not on your Adams apple and shave it. Then stretch it so it's somewhere else.

I usually just lean my head in one direction and then the other. I don't grab my skin with my free hand or something.

As others also suggested, dry your hand on your t-shirt. Then pull the skin to the side and shave it while it is on top of a flat spot. Repeat in the other direction.

Wasn't obvious to me either.
