Sneezers are not just a nuisance, they're a real danger. This government information film featuring Richard Massingham tells you how not to sneeze on the people around you. Use a hankie please!

To kill the urge to sneeze, pinch the soft tissue above the nostrils with your thumb and index finger. Maintain steady but firm pressure for 10-15 seconds and you'll find the urge will dissipate and go away. Helpful in a movie theater

Actually I just saw the Mythbusters on sneezing properly. Please, do not carry a cloth hanky, or your hand and don't use either to block your sneeze. According to their experiment, the best method is sneezing into the crook of your elbow. This was the least germ spreading method, and didn't contaminate your hand.

The cloth hanky just becomes a germ vector all its own. Use regular Kleenex to mop up, and throw it away.

I think a hankey is better if you don't want phlegm and snot on your clothes.
