If I need to put a jack stand at the front right jack point, I place my jack under the rear right jack point and lift the car until I can fit the jack stand under the front right jack point. Then I lower the jack at the rear and the car rests on the front right jack stand nice and secure.
In my experience, lifting the opposite end of the car on the same side you need to put the jack stand works well.
