I'm around the same height; I just consider the fun of backing up another unavoidable joy of being fun sized.
Hopping off the bike and walking it can be faster. I keep the kickstand up and the bike in gear, both hands on the controls. Even if you opt for one hand on the left control, keeping it in gear and gives you the option of releasing the clutch and stopping the bike.
Side note: my streetbike is a 600, not a ninjette. The ninjette is much easier for me to back up...and has no kickstand.
