Default Harbor freight wheel chock question

I have a harbor freight wheel chock coming soon. I plan using it in my garage and trailer. My question is when I use it in my trailer will I be able to ride into the chock and then get off the bike without putting the jiffy stand down? I have a 5x 10 trailer and I think it would be rather tight in there with the bike leaning over on the stand before I get to strapping it down.
I am thinking it will stand up by itself, if people are using it to park there rides in the garage.
I plan on mounting it to a piece of plywood for parking in the garage.
My trailer is set up to haul a bike with a pingle chock, but I think this chock will work better.

The wheel chock will hold it upright until you get it tied down. No need to worry about the jiffy stand.

If it is the same chock that I use in my trailer the bike will stand up,I don't ride the bike into the wheel chock I walk it in, then you can start tying it down. One strap each side around the top of the lower triple tree watch out for the brake lines and wiring. The rear i use soft hooks around the rear floorboard mounts. The fob for security system stays with the bike and when i park I take the fob with me. [ When I mounted the wheel chock in the trailer I drilled the mounting holes through the floor cross beams not just the wood floor. ]

curious as to why you walk it in versus riding it in.
