Pretty much what AOX81 said. As you get better at stick shifts you will start down shifting and what-not before stopping.
Don't worry about being jerky at first, you'll get the hang of it. If you want to get it alittle quicker. Go toa shopping center when its empty and just practice accelerating in first and shifting to second. It removes all the pressure.
I remember when I first got a car reverse irked me. So I just spent an evening driving backwards.

Question #2: If you are being jerked then you are probably letting off the clutch too soon. Popping it in and releasing it quickly does this sometimes when you are in lower gears. Try letting out the clutch slowly as you are accelerating.
