I didn't need someone to step on the brakes for me. All I did was tighten one lug nut back onto one of the studs. Then I took a torque wrench and put the socket end onto the lug nut while wedging the other end up against the inside of the wheel well. That prevented the wheel from spinning while I torqued down the other studs. (Of course, it helps to have multiple torque wrenches in your toolbox. If you only have one, then you might not be able to do it this way.)
