Ultimately cyclists have to consider themselves traffic. And while you might be able to sift through the highway code until something appropriate comes up, it's also just good sense/polite to allow an awkward vehicle get on with their journey.
There are many circumstances when I'd be of the opinion that the lorry driver is a cunt just for being there, but mid rush hour, massively overloaded junction it just makes sense to hold back for the 30 seconds required to allow the maneuver to be completed.
(Proper segregation of course negates these problems...)
