Why not stop in the middle of the straight lane? If there is a car there already, stop behind it. If you're first, stop at the stop stripe. When the light turns green and you are moving across the intersection, start moving to the right so through motorists behind you can pass you on the left.

wow... I completely botched that one up... I stop to the far LEFT of the RIGHT turn lane.. ugh... it allows drivers to pull around me to the right and keeps me in position to go straight and makes my intentions known that I'm going straight. sorry about the confusion there.
Also, there is one intersection in question where two lanes turn left, one goes straight, one goes right. In said case, I stop behind the first car in the leftmost right-turn lane and then venture towards the shoulder about 3/4 of the way through the turn. Cars don't seem to mind me doing this at all and they are given plenty of room to go around me. Also, for all intents and purposes, I can sprint through the intersection as fast as they would normally drive so it's not like I'm holding them up.
