That's the way I do it too. I put a small crayon mark on the outside of the tire to mark the valve. Then when I flip it on it's side I put the mark on the bottom so I know about where the valve is.

I use a 3/8" I.D. x 2 1/2" long piece of vinyl tubing slipped over the valve cap to unscrew and install it. You may need to pinch it tight to get the cap to move but then friction holds it to unscrew the rest of the way.

I use three Slime brand metal valve extensions held together with thread locker to check pressure and inflate the tires.
