Okay, here's my serious answer:

This is really an inherent trait of MOST manual transmissions, and only a problem to the one who PERCEIVES it to be a problem.

An automatic transmission has a torque converter to prevent your engine from stalling when you approach a stop. In a manual transmission vehicle, your foot, through the clutch pedal, hydraulic lines, clutch fork, throw out bearing, clutch and pressure plate, has to substitute as that torque converter. A driver will eventually become accustomed to how his vehicle responds to his commands and his vehicle will let him know when it is time to operate the pedal.

If your car jerks, you can always just SLIGHTLY engage the clutch until it stops. You don't have to push it in all the way, and it's not going to hurt anything at low speeds as long as you're not revving the engine up while performing the manuver. Once you get the car to stop jerking, then release it a bit more until you find a smooth spot where it doesn't jerk anymore.

I think this is why enthusiasts prefer driving manual transmissions. It forces you to become more INVOLVED in the act of driving.

But really, if you just get up a few MPH (or KPH) you can just shift to second and not have to deal with it.
