What my foot does and what my hands do are completely separate in my head. It's hard to type out if I'm not in the car, but my foot goes into a "ready position" as soon as I put it in gear, which is my heel comes off the floor so it can freely release from the clutch.

Regardless of what gear I'm in, my heel isn't touching the floor while I'm in "shifting mode", whether I'm accelerating from a stop or driving in traffic. If I'm on the highway, my foot will rest to the left of the clutch, obviously on the floor and if I'm at a traffic light that'll be green soon, I may rest my heel on the floor temporarily. Once I'm ready to shift again, up goes my heel slightly as I get ready to shift.
