I often have this problem. What I do:
-put the front brake on the back
-remove the front wheel
-hold the rear brake in place on the fork, pushing the bolt through the hole in the fork. Obviously it won't pass all the way through
-use pliers to hold the nut in place from under the fork
-stick your Allen key through the back hole of the fork, and tighten the nut
hope that makes sense
