Last night, i went to pick up a friend who didn't have a helmet, i had to carry my spare helmet with me for like a 20 minute drive!
i got so confused where to store it! finally i got a back-pack, and squeezed the helmet inside and then carried the back-pack on my back while driving.
i know that wasn't the best thing to do, it aint safe nor comfortable i guess! i was driving my 696 with a big balloon on my back :)

any ideas / suggestions ?

I use a cargo net and strap it down to the passenger seat.
If you have nowhere to put the net while riding with the passenger, it can be strapped around the tank.

You should ride your bike, not drive it. ;)

I either use a spider-web cargo net or I attach it to a bag or backpack.  Many helmets also come with soft helmet bags that you can wear like a backpack.  I never dangle a helmet off my bike while riding from the helmet holder or try to carry it on my arm.

+1 cargo net

little elastic cargo nets are awesome and after broken in you'd be amazed at the crap it'll help carry.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I place the helmet facing the rear of the bike on the back seat and use 1 short bungee to wrap from my seat hook (Sargent seat) around the chin bar and back on each side. When the helmet is in use I can wither strap the bungees around the tank or tie them around the cinching straps on the sleeve of my jacket.

The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

If I'm "driving," I put the helmet in the passenger (or back-) seat of the car. 

If I'm "riding," I put a spare helmet in either my backpack or on the seat behind me held down with a bungee net.

The helmet bags you get when you purchase most new helmets are ok for short trips across town with a helmet in them. Just sling it across your shoulders.
