loosen your clips so that you can pull your feet out without having to twist too much or at all, then as you get used to them tighten them up.
Yes, I do something similar. As I approach a red light, I unclip several metres in advance, then slide forward off the saddle, and put the unclipped foot on the ground, all in one smooth, coordinated sequence. It's not only practical, it looks good .I found that if I stayed sat on the saddle after unclipping there was still a chance I would fall the wrong way, so I now use another method.
Unclip well in advance, but as I come to a stop, slide right forward off the saddle completely so it's like I'm stepping down to the ground with my unclipped foot. It has never failed so far.
