Guess I might be an "expert". I can do it at will, for as long as I want. I can even do it no hands, and hop the bike up and down with my feet while doing it.

But I learned on the track, with the front wheel pointed up the hill, to the right. That's opposite how it's done on the road, and I still have problems doing it with the wheel pointed to the left. So I just take my foot out, whether using clipless or "archaic, pointless" clips and straps.

<edit> Now that I think about it, most of the time I just stay clipped in and hold on to the stoplight while waiting. Dunno if the stoplights are as close to the curb in other parts of the world, but it works great here in sunny SoCal.
