When I first rode fixed I could never get the left pedal on, to the Point where I scraped through about three clips and decided to stop replacing them and just rode everywhere with a right clip. If it's your back foot (when skidding) which you can't get in then it doesn't really matter if there no foot retention...
[pause to await flaming.... Then realises I'll need to post first]
Anyway, went over to clipless pedals and then got a second bike with clips for some reason this time I managed to put the clips on fine and to this day almost never have problems with clips...
True [*] story
Spds are easier but clips aren't sooo bad... Downtube shifters are shit though.
