I can't give you any instructions, but all I can say is that every time there's been a total emergency and I needed to dismount, unclipping happened. I don't know how it happened, it just did.
When you've clipped in and out enough, your legs just know how to do it. And that's not simply braking hard and getting a foot down - I'm talking about getting my whole body off the bike.
