This has annoyed me for years. Now that Apple has fixed all the major annoyances like copy/paste and MMS, I think it's time for us to start pushing this fix. Here are some creative ways I have thought up to keep the screen from flipping to landscape when you're lying down:

1. Add the option that if you hold two fingers on the screen while you rotate it, the phone will keep from rotating the screen.
2. Add a "Disable accelerometer" option in Settings.
3. Add the option that double clicking the home button manually rotates the screen the opposite way the accelerometer is telling it to rotate.
