Practice, practice, practice. I practice a lot on the road as there is plenty of opportunity to accelerate from a trackstand (at intersections). I find that I am using my calves on the upstroke a lot to really get that extra pull. You do need your cleats locked in tight though, or you’ll rip your shoes right off the pedal, and that is just no fun when out of the saddle.
