The thing I found about clipping in was not to worry about it, and if on a busy junction or whatever its best to keep riding than to try and get your left foot secured. A quick jab on the brake when safe will give you an opportunity to get in your retention. Now its pretty automatic and I haven't been riding fixed for long.
I never had any issues after switching from ss and had like a few others spent some time before the switch peddaling all the time. I'm also a bit geeky so as I rode if I ever coasted I would ask my self why; downhill, laziness, tight space etc and resolve myself not to the next time I was faced with that situation.
