how do you stop when riding a mountain bike in crowded areas?

Hello

I was testing out a mountain bike today in the middle of a city. And it has been a long time since I have ridden a bike. From what I remember I could touch my feet to the ground back then to stop if I needed to wait for someone to pass. But on this bike the seat was too high for that.

In fact I couldn't even figure out how to get on without getting on a riding right away. Or else it would start to tip.

Is this how mountain bikes are supposed to be? It felt uncomfortable for me but maybe I could get used to it. but I don't know how to stop and stand still when I need to wait in one area for a while.
