If I anticipate stopping, I unclip & let my foot rest on the pedal in case I need to clip back in. BUT - be sure that you don't inadvertently let your foot clip back in because you'll do the Laugh-In-Old-Man-Tricycle stunt. Very hard on the ego!

And Mizz Liz is right - your muscles will learn where the pedal is and how to click in & out automatically. It takes a bit of time, but it will happen without you realizing it. All of a sudden you'll realize that it has become second nature.
