I do, and use it as an opportunity for self-effacing humor. When I'm introducing myself I'll say something like "and I've stuttered since I was a kid but it only comes up in low-pressure situations like interviews..." That tends to get a laugh around the table and helps me not put as much pressure on myself when I get blocked.
