He almost certainly had the bomb in his hand and didn't have to take it
out of the bag when he got on the Picadilly Line train. If the bomb
was dark and oblong (the shape of a boxed bottle of liquor) or a color
that matched the walls or floor of the train and ordinary looking, he
could have slipped it under a seat without attracting much attention.
And if he did it immediately after the train arrived, he could exit
with the last of the passengers and he'd look like someone who just got
on the wrong train by accident.

He couldn't have placed a bomb under any C stock or 73ts seat. Look at the
stocks. It can't be done. But there is plenty of space by doors where bags
would likely not be noticed.

Great! Thanks! I appreciate being corrected with a better idea. The
space by the doors makes it EASIER for someone to place a bomb and then
leave the train before the doors close.
