we used to use mates cars/ vans/ working vehicles to hitch up the mountain passes and into the forests sometimes when on MTBs, but that was more a case of seeing a mate drive past who would then stop and offer a drag up.
Got to say, even then, on big bikes, large empty clear roads and with the drivers full knowledge, its still pretty tricky to keep on without coming a cropper.
you might get 1in100 drivers who don't mind you putting a hand on their vehicle, but the other 99 will try and push your shit in.
goods vehicles probably make better leaning posts, as its unlikely to be their vehicle, though they are probably more likely to drive erratically to shake you.
suggest HTFU, trackstand like a boss, trackstand> sprint start liek a bosse.
