Get a right angled valve stem fitted - or if you have tubed tyres you can buy right angle extensions that screw onto the straight valve stem. Carry it in you tool kit (0r your jacket pocket)

My back rim is 8.5 inches wide and the right angle valve extension is perfect for being able to inflate the tyre. Well worth a few dollars.

Yep, the right angle valve extension is the answer. Have been using them for years and they are available at most bike shops.
