On the dog’s jaw and neck? My dog has been having them and it’s quite hard to remove them. Either I get tons of liking in my hands or I have to give him some quick but definitely painfully jabs at the matting. Usually, I ended up cutting it since the dog won’t be patient for me nor understanding that I need to remove his clump of hairs.

You should check the Internet for some un-tagling conditioner. Always use a conditioner when you give your dog a bath. And, if his coat gets matted, always comb his hair after the shampoo & conditioner.
Put him somewhere up (my wife puts our dog on the washing mashine 
) and comb his hair while it's still wet.
Good luck!

I can try this. however, I would like to ask if that is possible. My dog has a long-haired coat and I usually blow dry him or sundry him before combing. In addition, I don't really comb him much immediately after bathing because sometimes he's not in a good mood to be groomed after a bath.

I don't think the dog's mood counts. It's rather your mood that is important. If you are determined to do something, the dog must obey. Again, don't let him be the boss. Put him somewhere up on a table or something (the washing machine top is our dog's grooming table) and comb him. If he's not used to be combed, take one step at a time. At first, comb him easily, without trying to remove the matting. Once he's used to the procedure, try removing the knots.
