Stopping Neckline facings from rolling out

I think a lot of people struggle with keeping neckline facings from rolling out even if you've understitched. So does anyone have any advice or tricks?

I will usually either topstitch around the neckline and call it a feature or, if the fabric hides it ok I'll do a little invisible slip stitching, tacking the outside edge of the facing to the main body.

My answer is generally to bind the neckline if I can.

I cannot stand a flappy facing.

I just stretch the front section a bit more than the sides and back neckline, as that's usually where the band is floppy. 

Also if you count the neckband on the bias helps.
