I kind of lean it on my right arm, put the saddle nose on my shoulder and grab it (on the mixte) on the bar or (on the loop frames) around the junction of the down tube and seat tube. It just sort of balances there. I might steady the handlebars with my left hand. Hard to explain but easy enough with practice.
