i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

If I'm wearing khakis (Mon - Thurs for work) then I peg my right leg and pull my sock over. Pretty dorky but it keeps the grease, etc. off my pants.
If I'm wearing jeans I just roll up the right side. They're not very baggy on the bottom so there's little to no risk of the left leg going through the frame, plus there's no bottle cage on my SS.

Wow,
It's half way through the day here at the office and I just looked down and saw to my horror that my pant leg is still rolled up.

I use a reflective strap to keep my right pants leg out of the crank.

Both. All day long through class. Plus... I have some DAMN nice legs... so all the chickas can get a look.
Also... my right leg got caught on the crank arm once. It hurted.
You know what else I just realized. Jeans that were too small (lengthwise) for me, can now be utilized as "riding" jeans because I'm just gonna roll them up!

I usually just roll up the pant leg that isn't packing my junk... don't want to get pulled over for indecent exposure.

I think it's pretty sad that the OP assumed that the main reasons we ride bikes is to get to the coffee shop or to class.

fyi, im 21...hence the coffee shop/class thing AND i have been racing bikes since I was close to 12. i ride my geared bikes for exercise and my fixed gear for commuting. when you have more than one bike you can have a "coffee" bike
