I can do this one handed as follows:
Grip the phone with the middle finger on the Aux button and thumb on power. 
The index finger is on the top, slightly towards the gold coloured socket, 
and the pinkie is between the headset socket and the speaker grill. Holding 
the base of the phone (the end with the hole in) against your chest will make 
pressing the Aux button easier.

Press and hold the Aux button, then press and hold the Power button. When both 
have been down for ~2s the Aux LED will flash and the phone will vibrate, but 
keep holding the buttons until the menu appears on screen.

If you mess up the button presses you may get an unresponsive phone. Don't 
worry - remove the battery for a few seconds then replace it, wait ~15s then 
try again. It can be frustrating when you start, but once you get the hang of 
it it's very easy.
