There is a little skill - it'll be a little unnerving at first. Generally a good way to start is to keep your leading foot in the clips and straps, and then you only have to worry about the foot you take off the pedal when you're stopped.
However ozzy, be prepared to fall over, at least once. It's kind of inevitable! It'll be at a traffic light or when you're first getting used to it.
Also, when clipping in while moving, the best thing to do is to try and get your foot into the clips/straps at the earliest moment. It's harder at higher speed. Don't feel like you shouldn't look at your feet at first, either. In no time you'll do it without even thinking (unless you're drunk).
