I've done that too.  (Had to take the back seat apart to find the  
dang thing -- man I'd hate to get a flat tire with all my piano stuff  
in the back)  Scissor jack does offer the most control.  Most  
recently, I put on a set of caster brakes with a piece of 4x4 scrap  
and used myself for the jack easily as pie.  Got underneath and did  
the "push up" type lift and supported the piano with one arm and slid  
the 4x4 under the end of the truck with the other.  Don't know if I  
could do it with a heavy piano.  This was only a Yamaha G2.
