It happens to us all at some time or other.
If the bike stands with the back wheel off the floor when it's on the stand.
My tip is - a small (3"x3" x 1/2") flat piece of wood, run the back wheel on to it. Then put the bike on the stand. Under the front wheel if it's the front wheel off the ground.
Remove the piece of wood. Experiment with different thicknesses of wood till you get it right and carry the wood in an outside pocket.
You won't believe the difference it makes.

I did use a bit of wood to get it on the stand so I could remove the rear wheel to replace the worn tyre. Since refitting the wheel I am able to get it on the stand without the wood, maybe because it stands a bit higher, or possibly I now have the knack! Next on the list to do is try to get the scarily bad brakes to work better!
