Practice trackstanding. Seriously, you might look like a dork at first, but I spent weeks going to the park every day and practicing my trackstands.
If you're not running a front brake, please do. It's a lot safer, and failing trackstands, you can pull one foot out and ride on the underside of your pedal for a bit as you approach an intersection where you'll have to stop and put your foot down at long red lights without compromising your braking power as you approach the intersection.
