First, remember that nothing drives home a lesson like a bruise. I have been a martial arts teacher for thirty years, I know a lot about this concept. (grin) You are now less likely to forget than you were before the falls.
Second, practice solves a lot of problems. What I did when moving to clipless was set the bike up in a trainer, wrote a script that caused my computer (near the trainer) to beep loudly at non-rhythmic intervals, and while pedaling, unclipped/clipped-in at each beep. This random unclipping practice served me well.
You'll be fine.
