Easiest way I have found when using a single trolley jack is to jack up the car on the centre of the subframe with a nice chunk of wood on the jack. This lifts the car evenly and allows stands to be placed either side. For the rear it is easier I think to use the Audi jack as this leaves the point for a jack stand. If you don't have one you can put the trolley jack under the spring and do it that way.

Spike - you really are the A2OC archivist!
I'm not actually sure I recognise those bits of the car though - need to go and have a look

If you can get some (they are on my shopping list), use rubber jack pads to save the metal and stop the 'cup-edges' of the trolley jack pushing up into the delicate plastic all around. Failing that a bit of wood does OK.
Or the centre of the subframe, but for doing that I tend to drive up some ramps and then stick a big bit of 6"x4" between jack and car.
Of course what we all need is one of those nice scissor lifts...
