I do this but it can be tricky and is not as stable. In Europe my mother had a little rest plate that the iron stood flat. It was on the wider end of the ironing board.n Something like this but oh look at the price of this board.

While on the subject of ironing boards. This is the ironing board I have. I LOVE it but it doesn't have a horizontal iron rest.
