rearstand

I'm using my hip and left hand to support the bike while i line up the rear stand with the spools. An alternative method is to put a block of wood under the side-stand to stand the bike upright making things easier. However, you've got to be careful if doing that as the bike is not as stable and you may topple the bike. Once the brackets are under the spools and your adding pressure to it the bike is fairly stable, allowing you to push down on the stand without needing to hold onto the bike.

Taking the bike off the stand requires you to add a downward force onto the stand as it trys to come up, releasing it nice and slow, and when the tyre hits the ground keep some pressure on the stand to support the bike while you move to the side supporting it with your hip and hand again.

is it safe to turn the bike on and accelerate a little bit while the bike is on its rearstand?

The rearstand manufacturers say don't do it, but i lube the chain with the bike on and in gear. Can't say I've revved it while its on the stand. If you were to do it i would suggest you make sure your using the spool type rear stand arrangement(with the hooks on the stand and spools on your bikes swing arm)as it is more stable than those flat type ones.

Though amateurish, it is a very nice and useful video, short, 40 secs and precise, to the point. It will help a lot of newbies putting their bikes on their paddock stands "solo"! Thanks for making and sharing this video.
