Cupholders for door map pockets

Has anyone found a good solution for keeping a bottle of water standing upright in the door map pocket without it lying on its side once the car starts moving?? My wife plays tennis and has water bottles every where in her GL, two in the center console cupholders and 2-3 lying on its sides in the door map pocket.

Roll up a towel or something to take up the space. Then later, she can use that towel to wipe her sweat from tennis.

I put my big liter bottles there so it can't move at all. I love how it is just so f'ing big and can fit so much stuff. Sometimes it becomes a garbage can for me......haha
