This is easily done with an automatic: brake, release brake and brake again. It is very painful for a manual car.
So in order to cope with this, one has to clutch in and in gear for these little movements...
For some reason, people would stop short on their cars/suv/van/whatever and then keep closing in in slow speed, as if they cannot determine how much brake they need to stop the car in the right place behind it. What is the deal of leaving a car length space in front of you while there are cars behind you?

Those situation, I never get closer. I usually keep my car in neutral and wait til I can actually can fully move.
