Yeah, being able to be standing while in the drops can be useful.

Track bars generally start curving earlier that normal road bars, giving more clearance. Some bars like the major taylors take this to more of an extreme. Maybe if you rotate your bars a little bit you can get a little more clearance from them without the drops becoming uncomfortable. If track bars dont sound like the answer (maybe you have aero brake levers), then ranndoneur bars could work. If you dont really use the drops too often but just like the leverage from standing there is always used bullhorns of chop-flops.
