With a radial tire you don't need to take them off, just make sure you have them at the manufacturers specified pressure. The old bias ply tires you had to worry about flat spotting. If you do want to take them off lay them flat on the ground and stack them on top of each other with something in between so they don't scratch/rub on each other.

My car has sat since last September and the tires are fine.

I drove it the other day and the tires are not flat spotted. Don't worry about it. Unless you plan on having it outside.
