Default Door weather stripping

Hello,
I am installing weather strip to the doors on my 77.
I've prepped the door, and have the stripping taped in place with the screws partly in
I know I must go slow and tedious, a little at a time.
My question is, will it help "form" the stripping around the door if I leave it taped for a few day's before cementing, or is this a waste of time?
I'd like to hear from those who have done this!!!
Ohhh... One more thing.can I start in the middle somewhere, or do I need to start at the beginning? I ask because as it sits it's even all around. Wondering if I started in the middle if it would be more likely to have it even on both sides as apposed to a little extra at one end, if that makes sense!
Thanks
