For it to stay put it needs some sort of friction - there is no way to do it without modification. Two approaches I've seen are:

I'm one of the two people who came up with the magnetic brake mod. It's certainly not as glamorous as the basically invisible one from Candiru89, but at least for my purposes it has been working great, and it only takes about a minute to go from helicopter mode to plane mode, or vice versa.
