Another trick is to carry a cheap old fashioned toilet plunger. Stick the suction cup under the wing with the wood dowel slightly screwed in. The dowel drops off as you roll.

Please don't leave debris on a runway!

In a difficult case (narrow, tall lights for snow country) we used two springy finger sized branches cut off a nearby tree, one under each tip, backed all the way up to the end of the runway. Technically the sticks littered the runway, but not a useful part of the runway.
