Uneven Ground Shutdown/startup

The only area of Heli flying to give me a severe bout of concern is when you have to land on sloping ground for the once a year re-certification of your PPL, I do it for the cert knowing that I would never purposefully land in that way unless in some emergency, however if because of any problem you were faced with having to land in this way and then shut down, how would this be achieved without some degree of hazard such as tail strike or worse, and what then would be the procedure for restart or would it be far safer to physically remove the copter by other means to level ground, before restart?
