Yup just let it sit upright for a minimum of a day well done you know what your doing . With the co2 I believe its a myth that it can't be on it's side because I have done 25 gallons worth of kegging with my bottle sideways and in just turned it upright because the pressure of the bottle on my.one gauge caused a leak.

You sure it was pressure and not liquid co2 leaking into the gauge. When you fill a co2 tank it is filled with liquid co2. As the pressure is released from the tank the liquid co2 expands to repressurize the head space in the tank. If the liquid level in the tank is high enough when you lay it on its side liquid co2 could get into the regulator. If you turn the bottle upside down its guaranteed. To answer the op's question if your transporting the co2 bottle there's no problem with it being on its side. I would not dispense co2 with the bottle on its side though.
