1) Make sure handbrake is on and gear is in neutral.
2)Turn engine on
3) Put the clutch all the way down and put the car into 1st gear

Pressing the clutch pedal in before starting the engine actually gives the starter motor a little less work to do. Marginal benefit, but it's a good habit to get into, since it makes failing to check the car's not in gear a lot less serious!
