Been there, done that. Sadly, that is reserve at SKW.
I'm convinced that CS is trained to automatically deny anything a pilot suggests. Instead, try reverse psychology. If you want to sit reserve in DEN, call them up and beg for them to send you to reserve anywhere else but DEN. Thinking you're trying to pull a fast one, they'll probably put you on reserve in DEN!
(A variant of this strategy actually worked for me once)...
