Question about stopping technique

[ny biker]

I unclip with my right foot, skooch forward off the seat and put the right foot on the ground. Left foot stays clipped in.

I used to have trouble sometimes getting going again, especially on an uphill. I read an article last year by Chris Carmichael that helped a lot with that. I'll try to find it. Even if you don't have clipless pedals, I think it would be helpful because he's really talking about being stable on the bike and getting your forward momentum going.
