Depends on how much too big they are. Not being able to put both feet on the ground with your butt in the saddle is perfectly normal, and is to be expected from a normal looking bike with some utility value. It needs to be that way for you to get a decent amount of leg stretch in during the pedal stroke. The way to get on and off a bike is to stand on the pedals and leaning forward a little while getting in and out of the saddle. Then you should preferably have space enough between the top tube and your crotch to be able to put at least one foot flat on the ground. If it's still too big (crotch hitting fram with feet on the ground) it isn't really advisable to ride, but you can still get on and off by leaning the bike over as you get up on the pedals. Then get into the saddle after you've gotten the bike moving. If you have to tilt your hip left/right to keep your feet on the pedals then your saddle is too high.
