Any advice on how you learn to do that?

The biggest thing is being able to lean down and do them up while staying both upright, and straight. Ya, I would say get comfortable donig it on the trainer first. Before you do it in a race, make sure you are really comfortable doing it first. Get lots of practice before hand. Make sure you can do the dismount properly, the first time I did it when I was standing on the one shoe coming up to the dismount line, my shoe unclipped and I fell. Kinda embarasing. Now I dismount diferently(bring my leg up over the top tube, as apposed to swing around behind the saddle).

JUst to reiterate.....PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
