1. Drive the car to a level parking place. Ideally you want the car loaded as it will be when it is driven (e.g. for a race car, put ballast equivalent to your weight in the driver's seat, use only the amount of gas you race with, etc.) In practice, alignment doesn't change that much with loading, though, so you don't need to be this **** about it if you don't want to (I'm usually in a hurry so I don't bother). However, it's important that you drive the car straight forward to the place where it will be aligned -- once you turn the wheel, or jack the car up and then set it down again, you've changed the static alignment and the numbers you measure will be wrong.
2. (This part I got from Brad Martinson, and it's a really neat hack.) Get two straight pins and stick one into each front (or rear, if you're checking rear alignment) tire on the front of the tire at some constant height H above the ground. H should be lower than the ground clearance of your car in the neighborhood of the wheels.
3. Have a friend hold one end of a tape measure against the tire starting at one pin. You stand on the other side of the car, pull the tape measure so that there's no slack and measure to the other pin.
4. Roll the car back (not forward, you'll roll over the pins!) until the pins now stick out the back end of the tires and are again at height H.
5. With friend, again measure between the pins.
6. The difference between these measurements is your toe.
