NGK washer locked onto thread of spark plug = bad running engine

I just got a 98 OBS 2 months ago. I have had a 93 Impreza for years and have did a lot of maintenance myself. But in the 98 OBS, I am blowing off CYL Misfire #2 codes all the time, do my first instict is to change the spark plugs. Well, both #2, and #4 had the spark plug washer half way against the seat of the spark plug, and the opposite side up about 3-4 notches on the thread.



I have changed many spark plugs before, and I have never had a washer skip threads like that. Now I wonder if there is anything I can put on the spark plug seat and the washer? to keep it stuck together until it is tight so that the washer is not moving around while I tighten the spark plug?
