No look-down , easy -out clipless pedals

I think it just comes with finding a pair that you get comfortable with. I've only ever tried Looks (on my bike) and the crappy old Shimanos (on the spin bikes at the gym). I'm fairly comfortable with my Looks, though sometimes I do still have to look down, or try it a few times, to get the one foot in. Getting out is very easy, though. Shimanos seem harder to get into, to me. And there are others that I have never tried, though I've heard Speedplays are very easy to get into. But I think it all depends on what works for you.

I just got my first pair of speedplays and they certainly are easy to get into.

I think they make the "Light Action" series for easier entry and release.  You might want to check them out. 

I agree with the above.  Getting used to them is the biggest key to not need to look down.  I have some older looks as well that kind of flip over.  I know how hit them with my toe just enough to get them rigt side up and clip in. 

However, the double sided entry (SPD type or speedplay, may help initially).

Good question and welcome to the world of clipless!

Crank Brothers Quattros are as easy to clip into as Speedplays and much easier to clip out of IMO and are double sided as well. As a relative newbie, I had Speedplays but switched to Quattros. I find them more beginner-friendly, but as others have posted, with time and practice, any pedal will become second nature.

I also found Speedplays harder to walk in and had to always clean debris out of the cleats. On the upside, Speedplays do have a good resale value on ebay if they don't work out for you (luckily).

no idea how I managed a triple post... never happened until I got this new computer.
