Learing where and when to use propositions properly is another nightmare! Besides, this is one of the main obstacles towards translation of Egnlish language by machine.

There are certain rules to use on, in, at, with, etc., which are very straightforward. The main issue is with compound verbs, such as get on, get out, get, off, get down, get into, get up, etc.

Possible Solutions would be
1) avoiding them as much as possible.
E.g.
instead of kick off, use start
instead of get on, use ride

2) merging the proposition and the verb.
Eg.
get on ---> geton
getoff ---> getoff

This has been already down with verbs with proposition as prefix and has made life much easier:

E.g.
for get ---> forget
