I have the same kind of gas cap and just hold it in my off hand while I pump the gas. (I fuel up while sitting astride the bike.)

I always ( if they have it ) tear off a paper towel and put the cap chrome side down on it ,on top of the pump. There is often a ton of gunk on top of the pump and if I stand it on the tank side it may pick up dirt and crap that could end up in the tank.

Never have understood people that fill up while sat on the bike - is there a reason to do this? I'd have thought from a safety perspective that it was safer to fill while off the bike - if you do spill gas you can move out of the way/mop it up quicker. Plus don't you risk overfilling while on the bike???
