I can spell necessary (when necessary), but I cannot, not ever, spell the word occasion(?) correctly. My mind always wants to single 'c' and double 's' it.
Yeah I have a similar issue with occasion as well, fortunately with most words spell check is able to see what word I actually wanted and gives me a sensible correction. But necessary completely screws me every time 
As a child I was taught how to spell necessary by a Brummie, so when he spelt it out loud the first part always reminded me of the NEC. "Enn Eee See Eee Double Ess Ayy Arr Why" combined with the National Exhibition Centre made it stick for me, don't know if that will help you.
He also taught the spelling of Rhododendron "R.H.O. with a rho, D.O. with a rhodo, D.E.N with a rhododen and D.R.O.N. with a rhododendron"

Yes, manoeuvre is a word often misspelt.
I'm not so good at spelling, but years ago when applying or a job where spelling would be needed, I started to read the broadsheet newspapers and every time I came across a word that I knew I'd have difficulty spelling, I spent time learning how to spell it. Manoeuvre was one such word.
On the interview selection test I had to spell 'secretaries' but in the context of 'it was the secretaries pen', (as in belonging to) I still to this day dont know how to punctuate that!

It was the secretary's pen - one secretary, one pen.I'm not so good at spelling, but years ago when applying or a job where spelling would be needed, I started to read the broadsheet newspapers and every time I came across a word that I knew I'd have difficulty spelling, I spent time learning how to spell it.

It was the secretaries' pen - multiple secretaries, one pen.
They were the secretaries' pens - multiple secretaries and pens.
