When another joins you behind then ease forward into that extra space just before they come to a stop
Being last in queue showing brake lights is recommended in my book where there is the possibility of another approaching from behind
This is my preferred method. I also take comfort in the fact that extra space in front of me gives room for manouver (quite literally) if an emergency vehicle needs to push through the queue and I need to get out of the way.
