I do this all the time to avoid the awkward leg swing.

Nah, it's all about the comedy "hold one leg straight out in front of you, and hop towards the bike on the other leg, hoping that your foot is lifted high enough to clear the seat".
If it's good enough for Ewan and Charlie
(joking aside, I quite often do what you said - I'm 6'4" but I've always got the top box on the bike, so it's still a bit awkward)
