Sorry to hear that, hogfisch. Could have been much worse/more expensive by the sound of it, though.
When taking the bike off a paddock stand, I grasp hold of the pillion seat strap thing (that's the only thing it's good for) with my right hand, whilst lowering the stand with my left. Then keeping hold of the strap, you can sidle around the LHS of the bike, leaning it against your hip if necessary, to put the sidestand down.
Of course, that only applies if it's a bip.
