So it's blatantly obvious to anyone taking notice which buttons you pressed.

Here's how I do it

Cover the pad with one hand (and maybe your wallet) and type it with the other

You can do it quite naturally. Of course it helps if you type the pin fast as well (by fast I mean not taking 1s per digit)
