With traffic jams, you just have to be smooth and ride it out. I usually lock the auto into 1st gear, at which point the Jeep will hold 6 - 10 mph no problem without use of the brakes, which is typically about the speed needed to do like those with manuals and ride through smoothly, rather than playing into the rubber-band game.
