If it is a right turn only lane, you should not be in it if you are going straight. Be in the right-hand part of the next lane over instead, or even in the center to hold your own place in line. If it is a shared right turn and straight through lane, stop in the middle to hold your place, or to be polite, in the left half, to allow right-turners to pass on your right. Move over to the right gradually as you pass through the intersection.
