In most states (probably all) you are required to wait at the line until the way is clear. However, it is possible to be caught beyond the line and still be in compliance if you wait at the position where you were unexpectedly caught until the way is clear to procede. If you have a left turn arrow of course no need to wait at all - you have the right of way.
