I use the multi-release cleats (SH56) & set my pedal tension real low. stays cleated but comes out easier. in fact, the cpl times I forgot to un-cleat in advance of a stop, at the last minute when I went to take my foot off the pedal, they un-cleated & I was fine. since I'm new to cleated pedals I make a conscious effort to un-cleat my left foot, in advance, & roll to the intersection or wherever I plan to un-cleat & stop. keep that foot hanging so you remember which foot to put down! :-) I still un-cleat by pushing heel out but it's just easier/faster with these
