people want things so easy!
basically it's called practice, like anything. all the things you wrote in your post are true, those are ways to stop, now practice...in a few months, maybe years you will be able to brake effectively with just your legs. you can't expect to just get on a track bike for the first time and be able to control it like you used to control a freewheel!
sorry for having a go it's just there is no technique eluding you, it just takes time.
