I could see a Uber-like service where someone picks up your car, goes to the station, has the attendant fill it, and returns it for you.

If someone is coming to your house they can just bring the gas with them. There's no need to take your car to the station at all.
There's a company called Yoshi that does this, only they come out to you with a pump on a van. One of my neighbors uses them. I guess it works, though I never go the appeal, not to mention I'm not 100% sure how it'd work with my car, since it auto locks the fuel cap unless the fob is nearby.
When I was working at Microsoft one of the parking garages had an auto detailing place in it so you could park your car and come back to it washed, waxed, cleaned, etc.

Was a nice perk and convenient since I was going to park my car there anyway.

Sure that could work but requires investment in the vans. The way I'm thinking this works you just need a guy with a cell phone & a bicycle.
