you have a full example on how to do this from a Console Application in MSDN, here: ReportExecutionService.Render Method which also requires you to read this one: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms160695.aspx

in general if you create a .NET 4 Console App you can right click on References in Solution Explorer and select Add Service Reference, it works also with Web Services, not only for WCF.

For a Report Server running SSRS 2005 or 2008 the web service to reference has this form:

http://myserver/reportserver/ReportExecution2005.asmx

scroll the pages I linked above to find the console application example starting like this...

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  ReportExecutionService rs = new ReportExecutionService();
  rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
  rs.Url = "http://myserver/reportserver/ReportExecution2005.asmx";
  ...
