I use 1st gear only to get going from a stop. If I'm coming to a stop, I'll only go into 1st gear when I'm doing around walking speed, 2 or 3 mph. That way you don't get any jerkiness, it's a very smooth transition.
Also if I'm driving thru a parking lot I'll most likely be in 2nd. Even if I'm only doing 5 or 10 mph. Which is really slow and these engines are powerful so it's no strain on them to be in 2nd gear.
