He needs to be positioned so you can access his inventory while you're sitting in the VR chair - IOW in your lap. There are numerous You Tube videos out there that show you how to do it.
It's still tricky to do, though. Some people make it easier on themselves by killing all the Outcasts first and then piling all the bodies into the pod with them.
