Like Matt said, get you a climbing belt or better yet a harness like the Seat o the Pants harness that can be used as a climbing system. You hook the rope to both sides of your harness at the waist, and cinch it up tight to the tree. This will allow you to not have to worry so much about balancing yourself and you can move around a lot better. I can hang mine (especially my new Summit Head Hunter Lite)in less than 5 minutes.
