I think that Gandalf probably did wear the ring occasionally. We can deduct this by what is said in the last chapter or RoTK:
Quote:

Frodo saw that Gandalf now wore openly upon his hand the Third Ring, Narya the Great.

Because of the "now" it would seem that he probably did wear it sometimes beforehand. I also remember reading somewhere that it was because of Gandalf's wearing and wielding of the Ring of Fire that his fireworks were so spectacular, but i couldnt cite a source...
As for Elrond's ring i don't know of any quotes to say whether he wore it a lot or not, but as both of the other two seem to then i dont see why he shouldnt have, epecially if that was how he maintained Rivendell and kept it safe from evil
