I've always used a node in the way to represent a bus stop. This works 
fine when there's a stop on each side of the road. Otherwise I've made 
use of the bus_direction=(N|S|E|W) tag (from 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Buses ) on the node to indicate 
in which direction the stop is for, which I believe should work fairly 
well. Then the renderers or alike can use that to move them off a bit to 
the side when displayed if wanted.

As for bus stops I usually use bus_direction=N|S|E|W (idea gotten from 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:Buses ). From that it's 
possible to infer what side of the road the stop is placed on, and it 
isn't dependent on the direction of the way. I have no idea if anyone 
else uses it regularly though ;)
