Its not always possible to take the lane. In these situations I find looking over your shoulder a few times is sometimes enough to tell the approaching driver you intend to pull out. I always look a few times before I stick my arm out and have had people let me pull across lanes without having to indicate. I try to give people a little wave to say thanks too, they're more likely to let the next cyclist go if you are nice about it.
