If you put it in neutral and hold the clutch in the gears stop spinning and it will sometimes not mesh up when you want to go into first.
Never, not ever, stop right behind anything.
Stop farther back, towards one side, aimed to pull away and avoid getting mashed between,
Once I have cars stopped behind me I'll put it in neutral, but keep my foot and hand ready for a shift to first if I hear stuff going bad behind me.

It should be effortless getting in gear, and they shift without hassle when handled right.

What Stewmills said, the reason you have to stomp on the shift lever is because you are in neutral the tranny shaft isn't turning and the gears don't want to mesh. If you need to scratch your nose you could just hit the kill switch , then restart the bike when done using the starter ,all the time leaving the bike in gear, but you shouldn't leave the key on and not start the bike for more than a few minutes ,as this can over heat the TDI ignition module and ruin it . Live and learn , but learn to stay alive! You don't want to become a car/bike /car sandwich.

Occasionally, you'll find yourself stopped in a gear other than 1st and it won't just shift. Don't panic. Apply a little pressure and slip, repeat until you're in 1st.
