Are the leaves still intact on the tulip bulbs? If so you can plant them right now because when the leaves die back they will make food for next years blooms

This page has some nice info about tulip bulbs http://www.tesselaar.net.au/growingguides/tulipbulb.asp
Basically it suggests storing them in a cool, dry spot with temperatures of 15-23c. It also suggests using old stocking for holding the bulbs :=)

Don't know if it's too late to help, i just joined this morning...
to store your lily bulbs just dig them up or put the pot you have them in in a cool, dark place so they can store their energy and then in spring when your soil is workable divide them if you need to and replant.
