I don't (and wouldn't) use a tug nut with a fixed gear. I think I use my knees, like Patrick, as the two extra hands. Easiest with a QR and no fenders, but still easy enough. I do a think where I half-snug the left nut, then push the wheel toward the chain to center the wheel and tension the chain. Then I snug the right nut, and full-snug the left nut.
