I've watched a mechanic do this. He snugs one side. Then clamps his hand onto the seatstay and tire, centering the tire and holding it firm using the seatstay as a leverage/clamping point. He snugs the opposite side, going back to tighten the first side, then tighten the opposite side. It doesn't look too bad.
