Penguinsing, folks have offered lots of good suggestions. I especially like saying you've been looking for work. Employers know that job search is tough right now. It's an acceptable reason for a gap.
When I finished grad school as a "mature" student I took a year before I started looking for a job in my field. During that time I did some volunteer work in the field. When I interviewed I told potential employer that due to events in my personal life (my husband died) I needed to take a break before looking for work. I also mentioned the volunteer position. They all seemed to accept that reason.
You said you have volunteered while you were out of work Perhaps you could say that while you were looking for work you stayed busy by volunteering? It sends the message that you have a work ethic.
