Unless you want to erase your phone and set it up again, wait the allotted time.


Since you evidently carry your iPhone in your pocket, you should turn off Tap to Wake, to avoid this happening in the future.


Settings > Accessibility> Touch > Turn off Tap or Swipe to Wake


You will need to learn that to wake your screen, you'll need to tap the side power button.
