This may be because you are deliberately starting your games with a huge handicap by playing a move like 2.Ke2 at all. If you're serious about wanting to improve your game you need to choose openings which don't hand a huge advantage to your opponent and leave you fighting to survive right from the start.
I'm not a bullet player so maybe what I say misses some huge point. But my recommendation is nevertheless: start the game by establishing a pawn centre, developing knights and bishops, and castling your king into safety.
