Wheel truing with bladed spokes

Generally, I don't have a problem truing wheels. I have a Park Tool truing stand. Easy peasy. But on my wheels with bladed spokes...the blade twists and so I have to go back and take the twist out with pliers...which affects the truing. So what I try to do is to use the pliers to hold the blade in place while I twist the nipple. But that kind of messes up my view of the truing stand caliper in relation to the rim. Just wondering if there is an easier way to do this, and keep the blade from twisting so that it doesn't impact the adjustment???
