You were using spd pedals? Try speedplays or eggbeaters, both of which are much easier to get in and out of (in fact with speedplays you have to use good form or you risk popping out; they release very easily and over a very wide range of movement). Prcatice is always a good suggestion when new to any clipless pedal ,however.
