I've found it easier to leave it on the bike and use my body weight on the saddle,one foot on the other pedal, and other foot on the tool. Pedals with flats I'd have that pedal forward, and push the pedal spanner down with my heel. For a hex-only one I would put the target pedal backward, with a P-shaped hextool in the hole, so the heel of the tool rests on the chainstay, or perhaps on a ~5" length of wood propped off the ground.
