In Promega's Technique Guide (may be called by different name, it is in may lab), there is an alternative way to run single stranded DNA in the cDNA cloning section. I could not recall what I exactly did two years ago, but it is easy to run, you may need to denature the DNA before loading. It worked fine with cDNA and lambda HindIII marker. 

Good luck.
