Default timing belt

Hi CAN anyone help me out i started to replace my cam belt and had released the tensoiner to look at the pin hole, at which point my friend turned the crankshaft whilst checking to see if the socket he had fitted. i think the belt has jumped as if you turn the engine via the crank it locks up as if the pistons are connecting with the valves! it is a 240dl estate 1987 caburreter (i cant spell that) and rather than take out the starter to lock the ring gear is there another way of securing the crank to undo the bolt as i am limited in tools and could not undo the top bolt on the starter. also i will have to remove the belt and align the marks but it now being out of sinc will this cauase me problems, any advice appreciated
thanks
mark
