Yes indeed it is difficult to get those front wheels up ramps without them sliding out in front of the car. The 2X4 method is one way or an alternative if you are not near a wall is to drill some small holes into the Floor and place steel pins/rods/bolts into them and place the ramps against the pins/rods/bolts to ensure that they don't move. If the weather is nice then you can put the ramps up against the lip of your garage floor where the driveway meets the garage outside and that will hold them to.
