Okay, I made one suggestion, here is another one, get a set of cheap BMX platform pedals and a pedal wrench. Take off the clipless pedals and put on the BMX ones, when you get your riding in good shape, so that your not freaked out by stopping, take off the BMX pedal on the side you always tend to tilt over on, this could be right or left, some people are right handed, but prefer their left foot. Then you get used to clipping in and out on your preferred side, when you get this down well, you put the other clipless pedal on. You have resolved your problem. A lot of folks find that clipless, and toe clips are overrated for a hybrid bike. I tried clips on my MTB and didn't like it, will probably put them on my road bike when I get finished rebuilding it.
