How I did it: During military duty (meh, we still have this in Germany) I had a lot of spare time at my hands, and couldn't do any other tasks but office work and some occaisional browsing. So I decided to spend my time learning Dvorak in hope of it being of some use later on. So I mostly used the typing applet on hi-games.net/typing-test, nearly every day. I think it's much more important to train regulary than long, so about 30 minutes a day will be totally enough. I doubt I'll ever forget the layout.

Lessons & tips: Don't use a Dvorak keyboard. Memorize the finger movements, rather than the position of the keys. There's no need for a special keyboard
