Your best bet is going to be either amending the soil with lots of good organic material to improve drainage, or if it's really bad and is in a spot that's going to stay really wet you may be best off building raised beds and filling them with good soil.

Yep. Raised beds can accomplish two goals - immediate "good" soil and long term benefit to the underlying clay soil.
