Try spinning the opposite tire or axle

I'm actually having this exact same problem right now. The shaft is
almost completely in the knuckle of my civic but there remains less
than 1/4 of an inch that is still not completely within the knuckle.
Will re-tightening the spindle nut bridge that gap or is it necessary
for me to make sure that it is in *all* the way before I reassemble?

Thank you for your help.

I got my axle in EASY after i learned that i needed to push and turn
and the same time.. not knowing that i spent an hour or so trying to
get it in straight.. was a no go..
