Use your first and second fingers (your thumb and index) to trill, and hit the melody notes with your fifth finger (little finger).

It takes a lot of practicing I suppose to accurately hit the melody notes, but it's fairly easy after about an hour of practicing it. I suggest practicing the trill alone without the bass clef notes to start, until you can play it decently.

Also, you don't have to trill while you hit the melody notes. You can stop the trill, hit the note, and move your hand back to the trill. No one will notice. Here's an example of that written out if you care to look at it,

Good luck
