There are a couple of things here. The more you consciously try to become lucid in dreams, the more it will happen. And, just like shooting a basketball, the more you work with your dream-world, the more you will be able to skillfully exert control. (Part of the issue for me is becoming excited that I am lucid in a dream, and so it ends, but in my last LD I actively tried to calm myself, for example.)
When I was a kid, if I had an LD, I either enjoyed it or got irritated, but pretty much had to ride out the dream. Now I can control some aspects of the environment, but not all. It's a skill.
