Ehh... I see at least one thing wrong. With your key in the off position, your airbags are not active (or so I have heard). So, here is my procedure.

1) Accelerate to max speed at approx 75% throttle
2) Clutch in
3) Key off (one click back)
4) Key on (one click forward)
5) Shift to neutral (not always)
6) Coast to mininum speed
7) Bump start vehicle
8) Rev match and go to step 1


If I know my coasts are going to be longer I pop it into neutral. If I'm going up a hill and I kill the engine I usually leave it in gear and keep the clutch in since my coast will be shorter.
