I know there's probably a lot of threads on pedals, but I was hoping you guys could give some advice on my particular complaints.

So I made the switch to cleated pedals some time ago, but have never been completely happy. I like them in some situations (such as when I'm tired and doing a lot of coasting), but I prefer platforms in other situations (such as when I'm doing lots of accelerating and decelerating in heavy traffic). So I got single sided pedals that are platform on one side, but the problem is I always end up hitting the cleated side and I automatically end up clipped in and since I'm scrambling to hit the pedals and mashing in heavy traffic that's when the problem is worst (guaranteed I end up clipped in).

Now I was hoping that after a while I would just get good at landing on the side I want, but after a year with single sided pedals it never happened (I always end up clipped in). So do you guys have any recommendations for a solution that will give me more control over being clipped/unclipped? Adjusting the spring doesn't really help because the cleated side of the pedal is too slippery to ride on unclipped.
