Getting into/riding out of standupww?

To get into stand-up wheel walk:
Ride along slowly while holding the seat, then when your driving foot is
near the top of a cycle, plant it on the wheel and fork and brake,
leaning back a fair amount. Now in one swift motion, transfer the other
foot to the frame, stand up, move your driving foot down, and start
taking quick steps. You need to go really fast for the first couple
steps. The main thing to remember is to lean back and do it fast. My
suggestion is that once you do actually get into it from riding, don't
use the wall again to get into it. This will force you to learn the
transition faster.

To get out of stand-up wheel walk:
Try to be aware of where the pedals are. When the pedal corresponding to
your driving foot is coming down in front, take your driving foot off
the wheel and "fall" down forward, so that your driving foot hits the
pedal, at the same time bending the leg on the frame down so that you
end up sitting on the seat. You should hold the seat during this
maneuver, at least at first.

I can get the transition to stand-up wheel walk most of the time, but
I'm not very good at getting out of it.

There are lots of ways to get into stand-up wheel walk besides the one I
described including jumping up, standing up from 1ftww or gliding, and
mounting into it, by climbing up or jumping.

After what, two weeks? of practicing off and on this way, I still only
made it once. So today I got bored, so I decided to try it another way,
by jumping straight from the pedals to standupww, and after 6 tries I
made it, 5 minutes later and I can do it COMPLETLY consistantly. This is
the way to go, was for me at least. Its scarier, and maybe more
dangerous, but its definitly more easy to jump straight into it. Getting
into it from idling didnt work at all for me.
