You could always try using a post-it note. After you write the problem use the post it to cover the 4 and the 2. Make sure that the post-it also covers where the answer goes. This way you can ask how many times 2 goes into 5 and the answer is marked by the empty space from the post-it. Then move the post-it over to cover the 2 and so on. (I hope this makes sense)
You said that they know the steps, but I use the phrase Does Mcdonalds Sell Burgers with Cheese. (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down and Compare). When we get to the subtract part, I have them count up to the other number. For example if you have 40-36 I have them count.... 37...38...39...40. Mine sometimes forget to borrow when they subtract in division and of course the answer is wrong. Home this helps.
