I'm only 5"4 and can't back up while sitting on my bike at all so I ALWAYS have to get off and pull it back. I get really good at scanning around and looking ahead so I can pre-plan where to stop and pull over and then I've moved the bike around so much i've just gotten fairly quick at it. I do find that leaning my hip into the bike and resting it on my hip helps a lot in that it ads some stability.
Sucks being short sometimes. One of my biggest fears EVER was missing my grid spot when racing and having to back up the bike. I always had spotters at my grid spot helping me line the bike up so I didn't have to risk falling down at the start of a race....how humiliating would that be?!!!
Good luck!!
