Here's my technique for teaching people to drive stick. It doesn't quite work on all cars, because they don't have enough power without giving it some gas to pull themselves forward when you let up on the clutch.

But, slowly let up on the clutch, you'll feel the it catch, and if the car is powerful enough it will start moving forward without putting any pressure on the gas. Do this till you get comfortable with that point that the clutch catches, and you start to move forward. Then practice applying some gas right as or before you get to that spot.
