When I first started driving stick, I had a friend in the car with me who "managed" the hand brake so I could concentrate on getting my footing correct. This helped me immensely (my friend also drove stick, so he was also coaching me through it at the same time). I would say practice on flat ground to get a good feel of the clutch and exactly when it grabs (if you haven't already). This will also help out with your hill starts.

I think some people do that to say "look at me, I drive stick"...because I notice it too, they'll roll back like 2 feet.
