You will need to buy a specially made rolling paper for this purpose and once you have it, rest it between your thumb and middle finger then use the index finger to hold the paper down in a stable position. Try to adjust the paper so that it looks like a half pipe, for which you might have to use your free hand as well.

Once the paper is in place, you now have to grab some tobacco with your free hand and delicately spread it on the rolling paper. Start from one end and then proceed forward, it is advised that you begin from the end which is being held by you. It is recommended that you even out the paper if needed. You will want to get it as level as possible which actually helps in the smooth burning of the cigarette.
