I have learned my lesson tho - unclip well before getting to the red light!
I really feel your pain. I am still healing the scrape on my knee from about 2 weeks ago. My trick?!? Unclip right foot......somehow end up leaning to the left side. Uh huh.....yeah...not good. I also was at an intersection. But seeing how this was not my first time going to the ground under similar circumstances, I have gotten really good at rolling with my bike so I end up on my back with my bike straight above so I take the damage and my bike doesn't. Skin heals better than carbon fiber (don't wanna scratch the pretty stuff).
