Make sure that the butter is melted and the milk warm before adding them to the potatoes. Add the butter to the potatoes first. The butter coats the starch and makes it less likely to gum up. Heating the milk helps keep the potatoes warm for longer. The best wat to keep the mashed potatoes warm and moist is to place the bowl or pot of mashed potatoes in another pot with a warm/hot water - in essense a water bath, and cover with lid or tin foil. It'll keep the potatoes evenly warm and moist.
