Stuck in cheap clip in pedals, fell to the floor :(

[Richyboy]

Was waiting at the lights (as you do as a cyclist lol) balancing the bike without feet touching floor and over I go; couldn't get out of the pedals in time and fell to one side. Got these cheap clip in pedals from chainreaction, is there an spd pedal that's easy to get out of or does this happen to everyone?

I fell again waiting at a red light in traffic (I don't know why I even bother when other cyclists just whizz past me). Kept my head down, too embarrassed to look at any drivers in case they were having a laugh. Hit the edge of the kerb with my knee but seems okay.

Going to change to multimode SH56s as suggested by bob above.
