I don't much fancy the dismount, either, given the potential for endless comedy as you whack your nads on the back of the saddle.
Trackstand momentarily when you stop, then step off - gives you an extra 6 inches vertically to clear the saddle (but relies on the brakes being good enough to hold the back wheel with your full weight on one pedal).
