Basically, when you're starting from a stop, you have to stand on the pedals. Maybe it would be easier for you to get used to that if you practiced riding standing up without adding the additional challenge of bringing the bike from leaning to upright.
I do stand when I am stopping, so that helps. I think that I actually did it once today the "proper" way, but almost fell over. It was much easier to start half-way leaning over...

I won't stand and pedal since I am not clipping in right now, but I can try to stand and coast - or at least partially stand.
