2 Options Available:

1. Use something to prop up the swing arm so that the rear is supported by the side stand and the improvised prop (for rear tyres), or prop up under the right hand front fork for front tyres. - There are commercial options available such as the Bike Krutch or Tour Prop Stand, or you could make or improvise your own.

2. Just lay the bike on it's side, make sure you can pick it up again though before you do
