I trimmed mine so that the bike sits _almost_ on both wheels- if the front's loaded it'll sit front & stand, if rear loaded rear wheel & stand. I park mainly on asphalt & concrete- if on dirt the stand is just long enough to ram down into the ground a little bit...
I don't really have problems when loading one pannier and then the other unless there's more than 20# or so a side (the kid seat comes off & is replaced with panniers)
