Never move the shift lever until the clutch pedal is fully depressed. That goes for both upshifting and downshifting.

starting off on an incline from a total stop can be a bit tricky for a newbie who's worried about rolling back and stalling the vehicle.
what you want to do in this situation is to put your hand brake on when you're stopped and release it simultaneosly as you're pressing on the clutch and applying gas. that way you won't hit the guy behind you who shouldn't be that close in the first place.
