When I wait at lights I have my bike angled quite heavily to the left (I stand on my left foot and have my right clipped in, with the pedal at the top position). But I can see how you can bump yourself painfully just getting there, as you unclip one foot, scoot in front of the saddle and reach down to stand on the unclipped foot.

You can always check the fit roughly yourself. I've "done my own fitting" on my bikes after reading a few guidelines, like this (it can be handy to have someone help hold your bike, though, I didn't and it was a bear):

Saddle height: your leg should be straight (normal straight, not stretched) when you sit on the saddle with the pedal as low as it goes and your HEEL on the pedal. Clipped in this should give you a small bend in the knee. Check both legs, then try biking around and check that your hips aren't rocking from side to side to "reach further".

Saddle position: the front of your knee should be directly above the centre of the pedal (axle) when the pedal is in the "3 o'clock position". You can use a plumb line to check this, eyeballing it is hard. Or get off the bike, set your pedal arms horisontal, use a spirit level to check where the perpendicular crosses your top tube and mark it on the top tube with a piece of tape. Then sit on your bike and see how your knee matches the tape.

And your saddle should be horisontal, at least to start with. I've never felt comfortable on a saddle tilted in either direction but some people swear by tilting them slightly.

PS. Maybe you need a slightly shorter saddle?
