Don't approach from the front. I usually come up from behind or the side (they can't turn very fast). I look for a distraction to keep it's attention (I use antronachs a lot or the occasional corpse - I don't really use followers, but they work too). You're faster too so you should be able to dodge.
I can honestly say I have never actually been picked up and eaten by a dragon, but, then again, I'd rather hit it's butt than it's head anyhow.
I play PS3 so that's my reference point. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Do you have mods installed that make dragons more formidable?Don't approach from the front.

I tried approach from the side. Still happens. I may have came from behind too. Weird thing is, it happens more on PC.
I have played PS3 too, but it doesn't happen as much.
Or turn it up and die quicker.Turn the difficulty down.
Or start putting points into health rather than magic/stamina.
Great suggestion!Avoid Death perk in Restoration magic and wearing Konahrik .

I have never been "picked up" by I dragon, but I have been bitten and it wasn't a killing blow. If it had bit me again, it would have been, though.Either you're playing at too high a difficulty or you don't have sufficient armour/health.
They only pick you up in their mouth when it's the killing blow, if you like.
