Default Valve stem question

I'm changing the tires on my 2000 Suzuki Intruder 800. When the old rear tire went flat I noticed I had very little room to get an air chuck on the valve stem, and depending on what the shape of the service stations air chuck was I might not be able to get it on at all.

So, I want to research whether there is any type of "bent" valve stem I could use, kinda like what we all used to see on the big tractor tire tubes of days gone by.

Barring that, anybody got any other ideas on how to overcome this problem.
