In your situation can you run xscreensaver and use "xscreensaver-command 
-lock"  (or xlock or whatever else you favor) to lock your screen before 
the hibernate event kicks off?

If you have your laptop configured for hibernate & wake-up linked to the 
lid switch and automatically kicked off, then I'm not sure how you are 
going to magically have the OS start a screensaver on wake-up... However, 
I doubt that's the case. Anytime I've done that in my BIOS rather than in 
the OS, the system either crashes or is very unstable.
