Just put two hooks in the ceiling of your garage, porch, or any other place where hooks would safely support the bike where you're going to be working on. Purchase a pair of tie down straps usually used for holding stuff down in the bed of a pickup truck. Use the two straps to hang your bike from the hooks above. Height is adjustable with the mechanisms used to tighten the straps over whatever was to be held down in the bed of the truck. I have a Park stand but I only use it when working on bikes away from my shop. I prefer working on bikes using my hanging straps stand as I can apply lots of downward force on stuck parts, which is not possible on a "normal" bike stand.
