Welcome to TE.
Oakleaf makes an important point. Is the problem that you can't swing your leg over the back wheel and saddle so you want to try to step through? There are some tricks to get around this (to a certain degree) if that's the case.
Once you are straddling the bike are there any issues with flexing the hips while pedaling? If there are, it will effect how upright you will need to be on the bike.
Havign said that, the foldable bikes like the Bike Friday and Dahon mentioned above are good work arounds.

With your budget, I like the idea of a soma buena vista. the Betty Foy by Rivendell is going to be over your budget. Another nice one is the She Devil by Handsome cycles but in looking at their site they are currently out of stock
