If you're bringing the cheese platter to someone else's house, there's an easy trick to keep the items on the cheese board surface. Before you add everything to the board, put aluminum foil underneath it. Then arrange the Cheese Board how you would normally. You may want to put nuts and other items likely to fall off in a small bowl and cover them in plastic wrap. Then wrap the whole board in aluminum foil. When carrying the board, try to keep it even so that the dishes don't slide off of the flat surface.
