That's why you have tugs to move jets around - back in ww2 the Me226 was towed up to its start point on the runway by a Kitenkrad (and in some cases horses) to save fuel and engine life. I think the industry was thinking of having electric tugs or motors built into the plane to move passenger jets around on the ground to save the fuel used getting from the stand to the start of the runway.
