Might sound silly but anyone got any tips or tricks.

When removing wheels,every time I put them back on they never sit in the same position and I need to readjust caliper to stop rubbing.

    with the bike the right way up and wheels on the ground. undo and redo the Qrs.

    Better on it's wheels and apply a light downward force to make sure the axle stays seated when doing up the QR, if the bike is upside down you can still apply that force downward on the wheel, but why bother!

    If the wheel has moved, adjusting the calliper is a bad idea, the wheel is still not in straight!
