I know it looks ridiculous, but stick it in the jack point on the van and all
will become clear.  The design of the jack point keeps the "folding brace"
horizontal, and the pivot allows the jack to stay more or less vertical while
the van tilts as it's jacked up.  That said, it's not the most stable jack in
the world.  Bus Depot sells an improved scissor jack that uses the same jack
point if you're not comfortable with it.
