I had the same situation in Zagreb, and I mapped it by convention, divided the road where a platform appears. It looks like this: http://osm.org/go/0Ismhve08--
My reasoning is that when we add more information (number of lanes, which lane goes into which) renderers of the future will do a better job. If you don't like that, the only solution would be to take that part of the road and put another tag, something like platform=yes.
