I have always struggled with this. Bow hunting it is more of an issue then gun hunting for me, because most of my bow stands are close to food plots, or community spots for the deer. My gun stands are usually 30+ yards away form those type of spots, but it still spooks them when I leave.
I have just walked out of stand, trying to be very quiet, and still spooking the deer, I have walked out, making lots of noise, to purposely let them know I was there. I have sat in stand and tried to wait them out, sometimes with success, sometimes I just sit longer, with still spooking the deer. I have been trying the wait them out thing more, but I dont always have the extra time.
