And move around a lot of the enemies got skillshot abilities, AoE or anything that can be dodged. Moving around a lot also makes them feel unsafe, so moving just an inch towards them will make them run back to their turret (most of the time).
A nifty thing about last hitting creeps that your turret is attacking.
Melee minions - 2 hits from turret will make them have just enough health left to last hit, so attack them right after the turret hits a 2nd time.
Range minions - Hit them once, then let the turret hit them once, then you can last hit them.
Cannon minions - Well... you've just got to be patient. :)

As a jungler, I don't experience that many worries with last-hitting, but it seems to me like melee champions have a really hard time last-hitting without being harassed. However, as I've been playing Malphite a lot in lane recently, I have to say that using your spells to last-hit is a lot more important than harassing with them, at least for the first 3 or 4 levels of the game. I use Seismic Shard all the time to pick up last hits against a really aggressive lane. This holds true for Pantheon's and Nidalee's spear throws, as well as a few other champions that I CBA to name right now.

It seems like a lot of people have problems with last hitting at their own tower. I recommend experimenting to see how many tower hits + melee hits each creep type needs at each level, then timing/counting them to make sure you get the last hit.
@Mowen: Doesn't always work. On some characters, I need 2 auto-hits + 2 tower hits to kill a single melee minion, for example Tristana.
Though it depends on what setup I'm using, and whether I started with Doran's Blade or Shield etc.

It's all about the timing. You need to get used to how much damage you're auto attack or skill does. Go sit in a practice game for 5 minutes in mid and just time those last hits.
Also, even at level 30, I still see people auto attacking minions at full life at level 1. The goal here is not to push to the tower (yet) but to get last hits and do a bit of harassment.
Auto attacking minions will just push you closer to their tower leaving the enemy team a long run back to your own tower with them chasing to kill you if you make a mistake or if their jungler pops out for a gank. This also works in reverse against your enemy team so keep that in mind =)

I've been seeing so many people not last hit when they have tons of chances to without being harrassed. Then, they complain about not getting enough gold earlier on. /Cry. Since this is the Mentoring section, lets help out some of the newbies. How do you last hit without being harrassed?
I personally stay behind my creeps and last hit and harrass when I have a chance to. And if you don't know what last hitting is, last hitting is the 'skill' to land the killing blow on a creep to recieve the gold. Last hitting champions means that you are either dealing a lot of damage, or you are playing like B-Wong as Twitch.
