I sit the tire I'm changing on top of the new one I'm about to put on. That keeps the brake disc off the ground. That's always worked for me (I just use tire levers, I don't have a tire changing station). I doubt if you're going to bend a rim using regular motorcycle tire irons. Alternately, just support the wheel on a couple pieces of 2x4 to keep the disc off the ground.
