Is getting under the car for an oil change hard?

OK, so I've done a few things myself like the belt, brakes, filters, etc.

I know doing the actual oil change process and it is pretty easy too.

My biggest issue is that since I don't have a lift, it is a bit hard to get under the car. I was thinking of using ramps for the back wheels. How hard is it to access the filter and oil area?

I can't exactly see where it is, so I am not sure if I can reach it. I am not the most flexible person in the world so I am not sure if I have to roll under there or what, not too much clearance even with the ramps.

Can anyone clarify this step for me, or have any tips on the best and easiest way to reach the filter and oil plug?

And could I do it without ramps, and perhaps just the factory jack? (Maybe a jack stand to hold it safely in place too)
