I can't imagine why you would want to do this. Since you have to re-create
the form instance each time - passing it new data on each POST, for example
- you don't gain anything by having it accessible as a property. Why not
just pass it explicitly to the template?
If you really want to do this, it's perfectly possible to just do:
my_model_instance.form = my_form_instance
in your view somewhere. But as I say, I can't see what this gets you.
