Depends. If you're holding at an intersection and you'll be first out, you could. If you're in the congo line and 40th in sequence, then you still need to taxi. We shut down two engines and keep two running if it's a long delay, but we try hard to delay starting until we have the best opportunity to make a run for it, either with a slot time, or a lull in the departures.
