There is no room to move to the right of the lane to allow a car to go around my left side then turn right in front of me.

There is no room to move to the left of the lane and allow the car to go around my right side, unless the driver drives up onto the sidewalk.

I can't pull ahead of the white stop bar because cars making a left turn in front of me would run me over. They come pretty close as it is right now, and I'm behind the stop bar.

So, there's nowhere for me to go, except onto the adjacent sidewalk, or the adjacent lane, which would put me in a place to get plowed over by oncoming traffic.

I'm not going on the sidewalk.

Any traffic behind me will just have to wait, the same as I'm doing.
You don't have to pull out into the intersection, just at the corner of the first car is adequate. No one is going to run you over then because they would also be plowing into the wait car as well.
