I see 2 options. 1. You can be a pedestrian and use the crosswalk. 2. You can take the left lane, as if you were going left, then hop the curb. You can't really be in the traditional bike lane area and go straight because cars would have to go through you. You don't really want to take the whole right lane because you would be needlessly holding up cars turning right.

Editing to add: If you're staying on your bike, I think you need to use your best judgement about whether to take the left lane, or to go between the lanes. Do whichever feels safest. If there are cars stopped in both lanes, I'd be more inclined to take the left lane, rather than go between a bunch of cars. If the right lane is open, and there's not a semi coming up behind you turning left (and there's plenty of room on the right for cars to get by), you can go in the middle.
