I think it was fixedwheelnut who said, many moons ago, "just let your legs go gumbly". I think he may have been describing how to do 200rpm on a descent, but it might work for getting started as well. Oh, and if you feel you're spinning out of control, get the legs spinning more, otherwise you're likely to start oscillating wildly.
It's fun though - I think it took a couple of days of commuting for me to get used to it.
