I have got into the habit of only riding with one foot clipped in.... It's a combination of falling off too much when clipped in (which creates a constant fear that looms over you like a dark cloud as you come to a stop!!) and stopping and starting all day. I just sit my foot on the other pedal and push back with it when skidding.... I find that it's in a better position when not clipped in.
I go through phases of loving clipless, where I'm in all the time and have no worries, then I have periods of falling off. Often when only my right foot is clipped in and my balance shifts over that way and I just let it go..... no point fighting the ATAC cleat and it's never unclipping power! I'm sat there on the floor and i'm still clipped in! At least they do what they say on the box :-)
