Questions about lighting

I seek knowledge from the sages of pretentiousness... Still new to the whole thing and am curious if I'm lighting my pipes wrong. I've followed tutorials but it always takes me several minutes to get a good light going. I've used both Bic cigarette lighters and a zippo pipe lighter. Whenever I see pipe smoking depicted it seems an instant process. I'm aware movies speed it up as it's not interesting to watch someone fiddle with a lighter and tamper for 5 mins straight but still. How do yall use wooden matches without burning a whole pack just to get started?
