Here's a few things to consider when parking on a hill.
1) Your side stand is always on the downhill side, unless it's too steep that the motorcycle would fall over. We don't want the side stand on the up hill, as the motorcycle would be standing straight up, instead of leaning on the stand.
2) Your motorcycle is always pointing uphill - in case it rolls, the side stand remains engaged.
3) Always park your motorcycle in 1st gear.
Regardless of which side of the road you are on, that's how I park my bike. Might have to get off and push if it has to face oncoming traffic.
Or, easiest thing... find a better parking spot.
Hope that answers your question.
