Jack it up with a litle jack until you can get a big jack - with a l-o-n-g lift - under it.
In theory.
Personally, I think you're doomed.

Can it be rolled onto a low ramp? That might get enough space underneath to insert a jack.
I've seen deflated BXs beeing lifted by the sort of crane used to 'tow away' illegally parked cars - using clamps that fit over each wheel. (I've also seen a long crow-bar being used - but I don't recommend that if you want to avoid damage to the car!)
Find a recovery firm with a front-wheel platform towing truck. You can roll the car forward over the plates, then lift it, at the front at least.
Mind, you haven't said what you are going to do with it once it's up - that could be important!

I agree with Ian.
However, he's already got an SM, so you'll have to give yours to me.
On a more serious note, try one of these :-
For this purpose, though, it's *perfect*.
The standard methodology, at least among the ID/DS folks and pending a functional hydraulic system, has been to use a 90 degree adapter to mount a pulley on an electric drill (cordless, if need be) and then a short belt between the drill and the pulley (sans engine belt) of the non-runner's hydraulic pump - spin it, and up she comes. Supposedly this works just fine, though I haven't tried it myself, yet. For the SM, given the location of the hydraulic pump, if you were close enough to power - i.e. parked outside and just wanting to get it rolled into the garage - you might be able to dismount the AC compressor and in its place mount a 2nd hand washing machine motor with pulley and a long enough extension cord to reach the mains - for a more permanent, temporary solution.

Try an airbag jack.
