You ever try to stand on an empty coke can?

Just set it on level ground and place your foot on it.  Then gently 
shift all your weight to that foot without losing you balance.  The can 
should be able to hold you up.  It might take a few tries.

Then when on the can, tap the side with your other foot.  The can will 
flatten nicely.
