This is happening more than I care for and I havent been able to come up with a game plan to battle this. So is there any seasoned players here that can offer some advice?

If you get no playable hands, watch out for (re-)stealing possibilities. Good players with big stacks often raise from mid or late position with total air- come over the top when you're in the blinds. If the initial raiser is overcalled by a somewhat loose player, the situation is even better, always squeeze in such spots. Q3 off is more than good enough for this kind of play. Since you haven't played a hand, they will give you credit for a good hand if they are observant players. The only hands I never resteal with are hopeless hands like 32 off, I like to have at least a high card or suited connectors for the times they have a big hand such as 99+, Ak, Aq etc
