If the passage is longer, I typically use \oneVoice to reset all UP/DOWN 
directions to their default (i.e. stems will alsow go down), and then switch 
back to \voiceOne when needed.
If that's not what you want, then you can always override the rest position 
manually as Eluze wrote.
On the other hand, if it's just very short (no full-measure rests), I don't 
use invisible rests at all, but rather use automatic rest combining. See the 
LSR:
