As last resort this is not a bad idea as long as you flex your quad as hard as possible. The looser your leg, the more damage you take. Furthermore, when you step you can cut off the distance your opponents leg is traveling, so the blow could be less. Finally, when you are in a situation like this, make it worth it's while, and throw a hard cross at your opponent while he throws the leg kick. With a little luck, you will drop him hard.
