I think part of the problem may be that our generation doesn't recognise classic art anymore. Even if these people are the religious ones they should recognise the statues significance. It's the representation of a Bible character and should be viewed as such. There are a number of lessons that could be brought out when the kids see it. If you don't like seeing it - just take a different route. When you panic about seeing it you give the nudity more significance than it would have held in the first place. I know as a kid the things that freaked my parents out held my attention more because they were "forbidden". Don't make a big deal out of it and kids won't either.
