I usue clipless pedals, and when I stop at a light, I release my left foot, complete, my stop, put my left foot down, and if the light looks like it will be more than 5-10 seconds, I slide forward off the saddle and stand on my left foot (flat on the ground).
My right foot is on the pedal while I'm stopped, and I keep the crank at the 1 O'clock to 2 O'clock position, ready to initiate the roll once the light changes.

Some people prefer to start out with their left foot, so reverse all of that if that suits you better.
