I suggest that you spend 1/2 an hour with them in a car park or something practicing clipping in and out, left, right, left, right again and again.
It does become natural twisting your foot to unclip and after a while you don't even notice that you are twisting your foot, you just seem to lift you foot and you unclip automatically.
You WILL come to a stop one day and forget and fall on your side, Don't let it put you off them, you won't do it very often.
You will love being attached to the bike, I find it makes bike handling much easier, and more grunt when you want it.
Totally agree! I started mountain biking last year and despite years of being a roadie, I found that I needed to practice all over again with clipless pedals on the mountain bike. After many falls I'm finally becoming comfortable with them.
