Whenever I don't know what's supposed to happen next, I make a general note to myself. Something like "He didn't know how he got there..." and highlight it.
Then, I mentally have a chat with my characters. "All right, Richard. How DID you get to this place? What happened on the way there? And why is it important?" Nine times out of 10, I eventually get an answer. Then, I go back to that highlighted section and fill it in.
