bottle jacks are good I use one, have trolleys too but as you say not good for lugging around.
you could also try the "hi lift jack" but again stowing it in the car can be a pain, bottle jacks go in the seat box.
from time to time the "proper" shelley screw jacks - similar size to bottle - come up on ebay fairly cheaply with the long handle that attaches to clips on the bulkhead behind the seats. my s1 has that

Hi-Lift Jack Company - Highest quality equipment at a reasonable price
do an ebay search on "shelley jack" to see the vintage ones I was talking about, there are a few on there that don't have the handles but also a few handles from other sellers.

Hi lifts are crap and dangerous for wheel changes at the side of the road. Especially if it's a back as the cross member is sloping.
