How do you put the oil dipstick back in when it jams halfway through?

If the oil dipstick jams halfway, first, gently pull it out to assess the situation. Ensure that it's aligned correctly with the tube; sometimes, a slight twist while pushing it down can help it slide back in. If it still resists, check for any obstructions in the tube and ensure the dipstick is not bent. If necessary, apply a small amount of lubricant on the dipstick to facilitate easier insertion.
