I have the same lens. The newer models have a "lock" for the lens when set at 18mm. If yours is the older model (without the lock) try a wrist band around the lens housing. See Jerry's post today on what to carry in your bag.
As far as the lens hood, I have experienced the same thing. Don't have an answer.
Here's a link to give you an idea. Almost anything similar will work.
