I don't have a Platy, but on my bikes I like to use a toe strap to lock the front brake lever. Even a heavily loaded bike will stay up securely with just a single point of contact, like the corner of the seat resting against a signpost for example.
If you go the ClickStand route, locking the brake is needed anyway. But in my experience having the front wheel locked dispenses with the need for a stand 90%+ of the time.
