Curiously, you may find that you can send with the "wrong" hand by reversing the dot/dash, or as suggested, by backing up to the keyer and reaching behind yourself.

In the "olden" days when we logged with a pencil, the CW hot-shots would do just that. They'd log with their right hand and send with their left.

I was surprised to find that I could do it too.

If you find yourself confronted with a paddle that's counter to your
"handed ness", simply turn it around 180 degrees and reach over the top to
send.

Absolutely. I've done this for years if I find myself in the midst of doing something else with the sending hand. You may have to slow down slightly, but
it is intuitive, despite how it sounds.
