other wise you need to turn your right foot sideways, and give it enough gas to break em loose and hold the brake, and let the clutch out with the other.

Yup, right foot "heel-toe" maneuver. You need to apply brake enough to keep the car from rolling and also press on the gas pedal to get it going. Once the rears break loose, moderate the RPM's by the gas pedal, don't let the rev limiter do its job.
Both cars in the picture have a manual (one T-5, one T-56):
