Catrin, how has this been going for you? I'm having to learn this skill on my new road bike - I've always kept the seat low enough (too low) so my butt could sit on the saddle and my feet would touch the ground. I'm trying to learn this skill on my new bike now. (and the sheldon brown video/page is super helpful, thanks to the poster!). For me, it is far from second-nature and easy, but with a little (okay, a lot) of practice, it is possible. Just wondered how you were doing with it.
