I will admit to having made mistakes putting my bike up on the center stand numerous times until I figured out you need to stand on the center stand and the stand has to be flat on the floor. When those two conditions are met, it jumps right up onto the stand. I almost always leave the side stand down when doing it. Whether it's up or down doesn't factor into my ability to do it right. The hands are really only there to keep the bike from falling over before the stand is down.
