If you don't have a doorframe, have a friend or significant other hold your body upright while you ride. After a few minutes ask them to let go but hold each arm up about 6-12 inches from your body to "catch" you in case you totter. This works very well for those that don't have a doorway or don't feel comfortable enough letting go of the doorway and putting their hands on the bars.

If you do this for a few minutes I suspect you will feel more comfortable and be able to just ride alongside a wall, which is what I do now.
