"Don't put this in your mouth!" my mom would always say. I always listened to mom, so when I started playing the guitar, the idea of holding my pick in my mouth to play fingerstyle never occurred to me. Instead, I practised holding my pick between my index and middle finger.
I've seen many guitarists using different techniques for holding their picks and I find that quite fascinating because everybody does it their own way.
Here's a video in which I discuss this topic. Had some beer before recording this episode, hope you won't mind my sloppy playing and speech:

If you do it quickly it can even look like a little magic trick.
or are you referring to Alex Van Halen?
Means I have my thumb, index and middle fingers available for playing.
I quickly slip it between the 6th and 7th fingers which keeps it right out of the way
