First, if the blouse has waist ties, use them to make the waist smaller. If not, take the blouse to a seamstress to have the waist taken in so that there isn't so much excess fabric there.

Second. Once you've worn your blouse and tucked it in, raise your hands straight up in the air. The extra floppy folds will show up once you put your hands down. Now, pull an equal amount of fabric out from the front and the back of your blouse, and make a sort of even fold all the way around your waistband, like pic related (sorry for the non lolita pic).

You can't really help pulling fabric out of the waistband every time you move around (hence the other anon's comment about YMCA...), it's easier to have the extra fabric already out there but redistribute it and make it look even rather than have floppy folds only at your sides.

Other option is to not tuck in your blouse, get the kind that ends exactly at your waist and has frills along the bottom.
