What do you mean 'got hung up'? I didn't use straps, I just tied the handles around my ankles. Depending on the size of the bag, I sometimes the handles can reach around and tie intact, sometimes I need to rip one end off the body of the bag. Then I don't bother with a cleat hole, I just clip in and the bag is thin enough to might as well not be there.

Are you saying like when you unclipped you were still stuck to the pedal via the bag? That hasn't happened to me yet, but good to know it might so I won't be taken by surprise!
