My pedals don't have the hook on them but I get by ok - I find if I ever don't get in them after the first rev at some fast lights then I just point my left foot on the downstroke which avoids that horrible feeling of scraping the cages on the ground.
Only problem is my cages are dirt cheap and I managed to bend it up pretty badly - I thought I was in until I looked down and realised I'd just bent the top bit in on itself....
