I do this all the time in Germany. Just hold the bike and wheel it on. Stand next to it slightly back if going up, forward going down. Apply BOTH brakes. If there are lots of people in a hurry who want to walk past you, use the lift.

The 'stand on the right, pass on the left' rule is purely a London thing, isn't it? I've never seen it followed anywhere else in the UK. Out in the provinces, our escalators are narrower, and we can afford to take a moment's respite from the day's haste.
Also applies in Melbourne Australia
