Get yourself quick release spindles and a single platic tire iron.
Flip the bike or put it on a stand.
Deflate the tire if it's not completely flat.
Inflate the tube just one pump so that the inside rubber unsticks, then put the valve through the valve hole.
Before putting the tube around the rest of the rim, stuff it into the tire and place the tire and tube around the rim in one go.
The first bead should be easy, and the second bead might require you to use the tire iron.
Put the wheel back on and then reinflat the tire.
It shouldn't take that much time.
