In my experience (my friend has one,) he just sort of pushes the thing down. I suppose scooting it forward onto the wheel wouldn't hurt too much either.

It's not really too bad.

If you decide you don't like the things, there's lots of demand for them generally.
Everyone wants them.

It's really a shame that for the most part now, it's either a big ol' kickstand or nothing at all.

Enjoy those flickstands!
