On derailleur bikes it's generally easier to fit the chainguard to yourself than the bike - get some cheap gaiters. Or you could try a different chain lubrication approach: wax lube is said by it's users to stay cleaner longer, so touching the chain won't stain your leg - the chain will last longer too, if they're to be believed.
