I don't like sitting on the ground or kneeling to check tire pressure either. That's one of the reasons a TPM system is so attractive to me.
Now, I check the tires while the bike is still on the rack. That way the valves are at eye level. No help if the bike is already on the ground though.

I came across this one from Sram that is highly rated:
