One method I've heard about but haven't needed to use (yet) is to apply air
pressure to one of the cylinders. The easiest way is to use the hose from
a compression tester and connect it to an air compressor. The piston will
go to the bottom of it's stroke and STAY THERE, allowing you to apply
torque to the crank.
I'd be interested if fellow listers have used this method or recommend
against it.
