Lead is just like solder. Clean the metal, apply heat and flux, melt the solder onto the metal while tinning the surface. Guys that are really good at it can keep the solder at a semi-solid state so it will maintain a near net shape.
Properly done the lead will never come out without the application of heat to melt it. Before Bondo (1950's??) lead was the primary way to fill dents.
