Between racing cars and teaching others to race I've found that some approach to this technique can also have a lot to do with the car.
Example: In my old street car I used to "roll my foot over". The ball of my foot on the brake and the outside of my shoe (5th metatarcel) would hit the gas. In my race car, since I push down the brake very hard and am slowing the car very fast I need more revs SOONER and thus I hit the gas pedal with my actual heel. And finally.. When I used to own an S2000 I would do both. In street driving, I would never be entering a corner like I would on the race track so I would just generally "roll the foot" but if I tracked the S2000 I would use my heal as I was harder on the brake.
Give it time. Keep at it. I also need to add; during street driving I general don't heal toe, I double clutch to reduce unecessary wear on synchros/clutch.
And just to really make things difficult... my 70 year old father who occassionally co-drives my race car actually does both!!! He heal-toe, double clutches while racing. Boggles the mind! :P
