I rotate the crankarm to the forward position for either pedal and use a hex key from the inside. I think I've caught my knuckles on the chainring once. I have never caught my knuckles on the ground.

I never quite understand the "flip the bike over" thing. I will do this on a rug inside every now and then, but I never do it outside. I do not want the contact points marred.
