Q: Home button unlock, how to stop pocket unlocking?

With ios 10's home button unlock, how do I prevent iphone from unlocking in my pants pocket? This is happening constantly. Did Apple really mean to stop us from being able to carry our phone in a pocket without all sorts of negative occurrences, battery drainage being only the least consequential? It never unlocked in my pocket with slide-to-unlock. Please give us some kind of way to keep the phone locked while being occasionally pressed in a pocket!
