We used to put DD on a blanket and then DH and I would stand on either side of the bed, taking turns lifting our end of the blanket up so she would roll back and forth across the bed. She loved doing it and it also gave her the idea of rolling. Also when he is just lying on the floor, move his legs across so he gets the idea of how to do it.
Also, if he tends to sit all the time he's not getting the chance to practice rolling - so even if he whinges and whines lying down, you need to stick with it. It may mean that you spend some more time lying down on the floor distracting him. DD used to hate tummy time, but I had a week where I made a really big effort with doing it lots and she was loving it (and able to do it for much longer) by the end of the week.
