In a word... YES !! You can jack up one side, pull the drain plug and then lower the car to drain the oil - assuming your floor is level and the catch pan will clear, it's as good a method as any.
Then jack up the car, place one jackstand (w/ a piece of 2X4 on top) in case the jack should fail, under the car and then retrieve the catch pan and swap the cannister filter.
While I do not usually use this method (I most often change the oil when I have other maintenance to do), I have used it sucessfully on a number of occasions.
