Not to blame the victim, but next time being a little more assertive to your right to the road might help. If you hug the edge of the road, sometimes you're inviting drivers to pass where its not safe.

If you would have positioned yourself a bit farther out in the lane, the car may well have slowed or moved further to his right. If he didn't you still would have room to move right yourself. As it played out, you pretty much pinned yourself.

I wasn't there, and so I don't know whether my suggestion would be appropriate in your particular circumstance, but something to consider.
