Also if you are riding in the city with curbs it gives you a place to put your foot on. I have attached a link to one of the videos on unclipping from GCN. All in, the best practice is what comes naturally to you and works.

What apparently is natural to you apparently isn't working fully. Otherwise you wouldn't have ask. <grin>

Have you considered as others mentioned that maybe your pedals and/or cleats are old and don't release as well as they should? Or that maybe your cleats position on the shoe shifted a little making you have to twist more and harder to click out?
