how to understand his way With some difficulty, he was able to talk his way out of paying the fine. He picked his way down the narrow staircase. He ran after her, shouldering his way through the crowd. He managed to insinuate his way into her affections.

I agree with Michael, and just to add that in the second example of 'way' in your text, I would consider the whole phrase 'to insinuate his way into her affections'. This phrase is quite negative, and means that he is manipulating her. He is making her like him; he has found the 'path' to her heart, but perhaps by deceiving her. We have quite a lot of expressions for this, such as 'worm one's way into' and 'ingratiate oneself with'. It's quite difficult to explain, so feel free to send follow-up questions and I'll try to help.
