It's only flat on the bottom, half a rotation should fix that! ;-)
:)
after the puncture is repaired, do you think I should put it on the back
as a safety precaution?
The problem with that is that tyres are normally rotated every 10 or
20k. It will end up on the front eventually anyway. Just make sure that,
when you get it repaired, a thorough inspection is carried out on the
carcase internals with the tyre off the rim. And use a plug/patch like
the one in the link.

Also, this should give you a few clues about what is possible and what
is not.

If running flat has caused any fraying of the internal sidewalls, ditch
the tyre.
