Dallas, can you be more specific and tell us what type of walkie talkie it is that you are using? Also what size connectors are you using? I will try and edit my reply if you can supply a model so I can do some research.

UPDATE: I looked at the talkabout radio and at the radioshack microphone. At this rate I can't really offer a suggestion except if you have any soldering skills to change out the microphone jack and solder in a new jack.

You could also try and wrap a small thin piece of foil around the jack and plug it in and see if that keeps it in place. WARNING: THIS IS A THEORETICAL SOLUTION AS I HAVE NEVER TRIED THIS.

If your radio is under warranty, then send it in to get fixed. I saw that it has a 1 year parts and labor warranty, but this radio has been on the market for 7 years.

After all is said and done and you can't find any other solution, you might just have to bite the dust and buy a new radio.
