Solutions for a difficult-to-reach shut-off valve
crip659 is correct.
I vote for option #2.
You do not have to have the water utility shut off the water for option 2.
Turn off the valve, cut into the line on the house side of the existing valve, (not the city supply side). Add your elbows, piping and a 1/4 turn valve, then tie it back in to the line. Open the first valve   and then your new 1/4 turn valve  and you are good.
