You should be able to rotate the heal and un-clip with the pedal in any position.
Agree with others on setting tension to a minimum. I'm using Shimano SPD SL and after 3 years still have the tension on the lowest setting. Have no problem staying clipped in and can always clip out when needed.
My experience also. SPD-SL on minimum tension. Just a quick outward heal twist unsnaps me. Only diff is that I use zero float cleats. Tried the yellow float cleats that came with the pedals, and hated them from the second pedal stroke. (I came from the rat-trap cages/straps, so am used to zero float.)
