How tall are you? I am 5'3.5" and absolutely could not use the Look pedals. I could not get out of them. After falling about 7 times, I started researching and found that many shorter women with a shoe size of 7 or less have trouble with the leverage that is required to release from those pedals. Anyway, I took them back to the bike shop and they switched them out for me to Speedplays. I have no problem getting out of those.
