That is fine for a stop sign etc, but it's not a good practice to sit 5 minutes at a red light with the clutch in as it places unnecessary wear on the throw out bearing. If sitting at a long light you should be in neutral with your foot off the clutch, you can then stick it 1st when you anticipate that it's about to go green.
