There is a sweet spot during this process where the transmission reconnects with the engine and the car's wheels start turning. When you're ready to get the car moving, you'll need to move your right foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal and start revving the engine at the same time that you slowly release the clutch pedal. If you release the clutch before then, especially if you do so rapidly, and the brake is not applied, the car could unexpectedly leap forward. Keep the clutch and the brake pushed in until you are ready to drive. Once the engine is running, push the clutch in, select first or reverse gear, place your right foot on the brake pedal, and release the parking brake. It's a great way to gain a little extra familiarity with the transmission.
You can do this when the car is stopped and not running - or when the clutch pedal is fully engaged.
Take a second to get a feel for the gearbox, and the spacing between the gears.
