I try to approach so that one of the sensing wires is directly under the center of the bike. That usually works.
For stubborn sensors, I've had the best luck by putting the kickstand down right on top of the sensing wire.
If you regularly come across a light that has difficulty sensing your bike, report it to the traffic dept. of that town or city. The sensitivity is easily adjusted and I've found that most departments I've contacted were very glad to be advised of the problem (and fixed it quickly).
