Oh man. That sucks! The self-help auto shop where I do my work has lifts with 2 different types of tips on their 2-post lifts. The ones that work best are those with screw-type, adjustable tips. I lift at the strong corner points just behind the front wheels and just in front of the rears. The other type of 2-post lifts have fold-up tips. Some of them are too high and others just barely fit if the lift is all the way down. Are you sure your lift is completely setting down on the base?
If you can't borrow a drive-on or adjustable 2-post, I guess you could use a floor jack to put the car up on jack stands.
