What do you do with your bike while repairing flat?

Curious here, as a noob to the sport with a new Sirrus Elite and a penchant for auto detailing and general cosmetic perfection, I got to wondering what you do with your bike while fixing a flat, particularly a rear flat? Just lay it on the ground? Try to find a grassy spot where scratches are less likely? Turn the bike upside down on it's handlebars and saddle? Carry something in your saddlebag like a couple garbage bags to lay the bike down on so it won't get scratched? I imagine for a front flat, most people just set the bike down on the ends of its fork in the normal upright position, but a rear flat might be a little more complicated.

So what do you do with the bike when repairing a flat?
