When I'm stopped at a stop light, I make sure to rotate the pedal with my toe so that's at pedal is in the midnight or 1 o'clock position. I then rest my foot gently on the and that my foot is resting lightly on it. Once the light goes green, it's a question of hoisting myself to the saddle while at the same time pushing the pedal around and exerting enough pressure to clip in as the pedal reaches about 5 o'clock (I'm approximating here because I'm not quite sure where that perfect spot it on the revolution). If i get it right, I should be able to clip in that first revolution. If I get it wrong, I just continue to pedal through the intersection and fuss with it as soon as I'm through.

I'm making it sound harder than it really is. While i'm sure everyone fumbles around a bit, I actually think Keos are pretty user friendly. Other than making sure the cleats are mud free and replacing them as they wear, they're relatively maintenance free and un-fussy. I've never had a problem with them.
