Is there a surface-mount component I can put on a pad, that simply has another pad on top that I can solder something on to?

We found that edge-mounting a TO-Can package to a PCB will really save a lot on manufacturing. However, it comes with fairly long through-hole pins that are taking up too much space to reach the pads. Any suggestion?

I would consider making a small (eg. 9mm x 9mm) right-angle PCB and joining it by solder either on the edge or in a slot depending on how long the leads are. You could notch the board for more positive location on the edge.
