Thanks everyone! I think we'll try the stopping further back thing and then add the new door window to 'The List' (we all have one right? And it grows substantially during the doldrums of winter.)
We live in New England, so our streets are wicked narrow anyway, so swinging out and angling differently would make the other side of the road impassable. But like I said, we pretty much avoid that intersection now anyway - it is the times where this scenario will occur when we're not expecting it that I want to be ready for.
