When you take your bike off the stand, put it in a handy place. Within reach of where your gunna park the bike.
When you get off your bike, hold it up with one hand and place the stand on the spools
Put slight pressure on the stand's handle to support the bike
Push down on the handle to lift it up.

All can be done solo and it will become old hat after a few times.

You can do the exact same to remove it,
Lower the bike off the stand until the wheel touches
Hold the bike with one hand to stabilize it
Fully remove stand and place in handy spot for when you come back
Get on

In time, you will learn tricks to even load the bike on the trailer/in the truck solo. Again, the secret is in where you put the stand before you even start. I put my stand on the end of the trailer, push bike up on the trailer, put on rearstand and strap it down, then remove rearstand. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

I've been doing this for years- you do definitely get used to it. When I can I have a trained monkey help me (brother in law) as my wife doesn't usually come with me to the track anymore.
