On my motorhome, the emergency start switch isn't very helpful for starting the generator unless one has a helper or somewhere around a fifteen foot armspan. .
With the standard rocker style switch all you need to do is roll up a small scrap of paper, I use a gas receipt, and slip it under the switch while holding it down. It will hold the solenoid closed while you start the generator, or just to top up the chassis battery while plugged in.
I guess I have a nonstandard emergency start switch. :) It's fairly big round pushbutton on the dash board. Maybe a yardstick or ruler could hold it in place by wedging the other end against the driver's seat.
