The William Randolph Hearst Method:
Take it apart piece by piece and put it back together where you want it.
The Relativity Method:

The Star Trek method:

The Hitch Hiker's Guide method:
Simply wait. Though highly improbable, it's not impossible that the
planet could simply disappear and reapear where you want it.
The Back to the Future Method:
Go back in time, manipulate a few particles here and there (maybe step
on a butterfly while you're at it), then come back.
The Off-Campus Apartment Method:
Park it in a reserved parking spot. It'll be towed within 10 minutes
without fail.
Okay, I think I've exhausted my supply of planet moving theories. But you
were right, this was fun! ;)
