This is habit of mine. I always shift into 2nd before going to 1st regardless of the situation. Try it. It shifts a lot smoother this way. If at a stop and in neutral. I shift to 2nd .... Then easily into 1st. If rolling to a stop .... I typically downshift and use engine breaking a little, or coast in neutral .... But when I come to a stop .... 2nd gear and then 1st.
