As long as the wheels aren't supporting the car (ie, the wheels are off the car)... why not just let out enough air to push the tires a bit to slide a card in. 22-24 psi is still quite a bit for human pressure. I'd just as soon release ALL the air (stops hissing).

After it's "dipped" and all, re-inflate.

I want to say "less work than unmounting a tire"... but that depends on how much effort you put into pushing the tire when adding the cards.
