Example, stopped on freeway (okay oxymoron) leave stick in neutral postion, car in front moves forward a bit, step on clutch engage first gear. Wind up rpm's to appropriate level then step on clutch and put stick in neutral position and let the car roll. If the car in front stops then you just step on your brake. However if the car keeps going for a bit, then you can step on clutch and engage 2nd gear. Rinse & repeat. Bottom line is to hold down the clutch as little as possible in traffic, which relieves your left leg and reduces unnecessary shifting.

The real pain in the arse is stop & go traffic on a long uphill trek.
Yes sir, good point. Bumper to bumper traffic never bothered me either. If you just put it in first gear and let it coast with your foot off the gas, the car is only going to move 1 or 2mph (unless you are on a step hill like you mentioned). Then just shift into N when you come to a stop and repeat till you're on your way.
