Turn it into a game: Where your partner puts it on for you. The extra stimulation received from that act both visually and from touch will likely keep your erection intact. Best wishes.

Sex is in your head: You are having a variant of performance anxiety. You have choices. You can get some viagra (sildenafil) to bolster your confidence. You can go visit a psychologist. Or you can ask your partner to act like a total whore and perform whatever act really turns you on so you forget the condom issue. I suggest option #3.

Regain it!: This is not too unusual. If you lose your erection resume foreplay and whatever activities that led to getting your erection in the first place and you should be able to regain it. Then you'll be good to go!
