Probably the rotor is not perfectly true (most aren't), so you're slipping it in at a bent spot.  Regardless, it's a nice quick fix that doesn't need any tools.  Good for trailside.  Thanks -- I'll definitely use that one.

However, eventually the piston will end up back where it was, and you will have to use a proper alignment method -- loosen caliper bolts, etc....

Did you notice that in the video, he was working on Shimano brakes? So those methods will work for yours just fine.
