You can just line the straight bit if you want, though I find that the flouncy bit clings to the knees if left unlined...
You could try lining it like a wedding skirt, sewn together round the flounce hem... Line that bit and sew to the main skirt, then make the lining for the straight bit. Slip stitch the main lining to the flounce round the seam line.
The other thing to do is make a straight lining down to within an inch of the outer hem, but I like to keep tweedy stuff off my knees!
An added advantage (probably obvious but I'll mention it anyway) to doing the lining this way is that the flounce needs no hemming, thus will hang more gracefully.
