Hand Swinging - Solo

If you operate an a/c which requires hand-swinging to get it going, I imagine at your local field there will be the 'airfield regulars' who are always on hand to help you get it going, and you'll know who's done it before etc, who's an 'old' hand at it.

But what happens when you land away - again some strips will have people around but you don't know how experienced they will be - and standing by a prop as it kicks into life is not somewhere I'd want to be standing. So how do you do it when landing away or when there's just no one else around?
