Ok, try touching the ground with one foot then. Like this:
The only time I have to get off the saddle at a stoplight or stop sign, is when I'm test-riding someone else's super-tall bike after completing a repair. Any of my four bikes, I just put my right foot down, as shown.
I can sympathize with your annoyance at the saddle nose snagging your shorts. If you ever shop for a new saddle, and are looking at the mid-to-upper price range, consider a WTB SST, whose shape is designed to minimize shorts snag.
