welcome to the club... I'm thankful that it took me over 10 years to join the club and even then it was on the MTB trail (coming up to some friends at a rest point)...
clipping in takes some time... with time it will become much quicker and easier... I am having to get used to single sided pedals these days, I'd always used two sided MTB pedals but recently moved to some SPD a520 for the extra platform support... get a good push off in the correct gear from a stop and you can usually get enough speed and stabilty in that push off to get clipped in... the worst for me has always been on an uphill start
thankfully when you fall it tends to be very low speed so it's more of a hit to your pride than actually getting hurt
