The car should be flat on the ground. If you have had it up in the air you need to roll it forward/backward to let the tension out of the control arms.
I have two marine plywood pieces under each tyre when I adjust my alignment. Between the two pieces of plywood I put a film of engine oil to make them slide effortlessly. Just so any tension is removed.
This way I can adjust and measure my adjustments more accurately.
Of course you might want to raise the car up in the air to loosen all the adjustment bolts and stuff, but when you are adjusting you can easily reach in and do the adjustments and tighten somewhat. Then you can raise the car and tighten everything down properly.
