When you're stopped at an intersection, you need to watch the mirrors and have an escape plan in mind. Be ready to implement it if the vehicle coming up behind you doesn't stop soon enough. Otherwise, your chances of becoming a bumper sandwich are greatly increased.

Another good habit is to stay out of the middle of the lane you're stopped in. Stay to one side or the other, and as flitecontrol said, watch your mirrors, have a bail out plan. I have a habit of pumping my front brake lever when stopped, making my brake light flash. It makes you more visible to approaching traffic.

There is no way around this.
These tragedies will continue happening as long as drivers love getting intoxicated.

We can take some precautions, but no rider can be completely safe or inmune to irresponsible drivers.
I try avoiding night weekend rides as much as possible.

This accident happened at 12:40AM. I'm starting to get a clearer picture of why my cruiser riding dad insists that I don't ride at night.
