Well, the question itself is invalid. It is not possible to swallow your own tongue, so you don't need to try to prevent that.
What can happen though, is that a deeply unconscious person can get so floppy all over that the tongue sort of tilts back in their throat, preventing them from breathing. Not quite swallowing the tongue but quite important to avoid.
If you've think you've come across someone who's that deeply unconscious, the thing to do is to place them in the recovery position (see link). That'll be enough to keep the tongue from blocking the airways.
What SHOULD you do, if someone has a seizure? If the person falls down and becomes unconscious: Clear the area around the person. Try to roll him/her on his side. Time the seizure. If the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if there are multiple seizures, call 911 (or whatever your emergency number is). Write down a short report of what happened. Help the person find a safe place to "sleep it off." Drive them home, and give them the written report. (He or she probably wouldn't remember whatever you say.)
