Dug lily bulbs up..now what?

I am reconstructing a garden bed and had several lily plants that were out of place, so I dug them up.
Some of the stems came out of the bulbs and some didn't. What should I do?
Replant the lily bulbs now?
Store them over winter and plant them in the Spring?
Should I remove the stem from the bulb?
Some have the skins peeling off..will this hurt?
