Sometimes I will filter between cars and wait between them.

I guess it depends on the situation though!
The situation i had in mind is was one lane road w/bike lane on the right, immediately before the intersection a second lane on the right opens up(not signed as right turn only) and with dashed lines the bike lane crosses the new "right turn lane". So the situation is basically a two lane road without a right-turn lane and a pseudo bike-lane going through the right lane. A bit complicated.

I was curious in general if there was a better solution to the right-turn on red problem... it seems no matter how you look at it you'll be getting pushed or squeezed out of the way by other vehicles.
