Airmatic reset??

Last night I jacked my car up to put the undertrays back on (getting ready for the Winter). I only have one jack, so i jacked one side at a time and put the jack stand underneath. This morning I drove the car to work, everything seems to be fine. Just went out to go to lunch and notice that my car is slightly lean to the driver side. the driver side wheel wells have about 1 finger width gap, the passenger side have about 2 finger width gap. Is this normal? Is there any way to reset the suspension? My suspension is stock. TIA

That is a good question, because I also have an Airmatic Suspension on my E63. Granted, I haven't had any issues with mine, but it would be nice to know how to reset it, if and when that time comes.

A Prius because I'm green
Sure the car wasn't on a slope, I believe they self level and mine always raises the back end while in the drive way or in some parking stales, I notice it because the slammed look goes away and I hate the gap it causes. But that is just what I was told and I'm not even sure it's right. Is the gap still higher on one side?

I have seen lots of airmatic cars that "settle" when the car sits. But, they should level right out when you unlock the doors or crank it. Also, I know yours is stock but cars lowered by analogue modules will also have this issue as it relates to heat. The digital ELMs don't have that issue.
