Depending on how handy you are, you could make a stand to replace the front wheel. Pull out the axle, remove wheel, insert stand, and replace axle. The base needs to be pretty wide and long, and the width at the top would need to be the same as the width between the forks.
Using a strap to hold the center stand in the deployed position can't hurt.
I assume you are getting tires, and I don't know if the shop needs the axle to balance the wheel.
(p.s.) I just found this picture. Not really what I was talking about, but close
