Cycling in the right turn lane

jackYesterday, I cycled down Victoria Road from New Hall, and went round Mitcham's Corner Roundabout over Victoria Avenue bridge. Unfortunately, this necessitates being in the right hand lane for about 150m until Milton road splits off. Is it better to:
* Squish in to the left, letting cars overtake very narrowly?
* Squish in to the right, and try to gesture to cars that if they want to overtake, they can be the one to invade another lane?
* Cycle down the white line?
* Cycle in the left lane, but not have enough time to pull out before the roads split?
* Dismount?
* Train until I can reliably accelerate to 20mph in much less than that distance?
* Force anyone behind me to wait 100m to overtake?
