Traffic Ticket Tip: Blocking Crosswalk Rule

What do you do if you have stopped for a traffic light but realize you are completely blocking pedestrian access to the crosswalk?

Legally you are supposed to proceed on through because technically you are "in" the intersection when you passed that second crosswalk line. It is indeed a ticketable offence to reverse out of an intersection, so it's always a dilemma, isn't it?
