As for keeping the skewer straight, I would stick it through the center of something like a grape or a cork, or something else that's soft and larger than the diameter of the test tube. Pour in your pineapple juice, push the skewer through the grape, then rest the grape on the top of the test tube and push the skewer down to the bottom and center of the tube.

Try dipping the test tube in warm or hot water to release the pineapplesicle. If you use a grape, which will also freeze, dip that end in first to release the grape from the sides of the test tube. Then dip the pineapplesicle side, remove, and cut the skewer with good scissors to the desired length.
