Just keep eyes peeled for someone pulling in from the right behind the bus/truck.
It also gets you away from a bus pulling up to a stop without seeing you on the right.
This.
The only time I'll "take advantage" of a car as a shield is at a four-way stop sign intersection with a car proceeding straight (without question) in the same direction I'm going. I don't run stop signs when there is traffic, but also don't prefer to stop, unclip and put my foot down. So I'll slow, and when the car proceeds through the four-way, I'll go at the same time.
