Stay away from gas stations, matches, and seek underground shelter during a thunderstorm.
If all else fails, remember: stop, drop, and roll!

You couldn't combust if you tried.
Take a look at http://skepdic.com/shc.html
Sometimes the more you try NOT to think about it, the more you DO. Instead, try concentrating on it and thinking very specifically about all the circumstances in which you spontaneously combust. e.g. where are you? what are you wearing? are you sitting/lying down/in a pool/in the loo?

From what I know it happens slowly from inside your body. So you won't go up in flame all the sudden. If it happens you'll have time to either call 911 or jump in a pool. But it does happen in extreme rare occasion and people have reported smoke coming off from their skin and burning without significant damage. People who died were likely were in sleep and slowly burned insideout.

There is nothing that an individual can do to stop it, but for the sake of those around you, make it your duty to carry a fully charged fire extinguisher wit you at all times.
