Here's another method. Put both feet so that the toes hang quite a ways off the skateboard (almost touching the ground), next to the wheels. Now jump, and turn the board into a heelside railstand. This method doesn't look quite as cool, but it might make more sense to some skaters.
There are many ways to get into railstands, and you might find that something else works best for you - that's fine. All that matters is that you end up in a railstand! Now try these tricks...
