Note that you likely don't need to actually turn the car on to turn the wheels when it's on the stand, you just need to turn the key far enough to free the steering lock and it will turn fine since there is no weight on the wheels.

I've done this a lot for dealing with brakes, it makes the job much easier when you get more room for the ratchets and wrenches. You don't need to do it when bleeding the brakes, but for a pad replacement, sure.
