The easiest way to move a wedge lock wheel is to rotate the wheel so the axle key is on top, and completely remove the wedge.
Lower the jack slightly so the key starts coming out of the keyway on the wheel, and tilt the wheel slightly in the direction you want to go. Lift the tractor back up, and the wheel will fall into place in its new location. Repeat as many times as necessary to move the wheel to the desired width.
Once you get the technique down you can lower the jack further and tilt the wheel further. Just don't get greedy, and make sure your jack and cribbing are good and solid. Even if the jack should slip, the axle will only fall until it hits the other side of the wedge opening, hardly a disaster.
