Last time I tried to help someone with this, he insisted his ankle was too stiff to turn inward to the brake or roll outward to the gas. But I proved to myself that I can easily do it without moving my ankle at all. And I have small feet.

So try this. Just put the left half of your foot, or just your big toe, on the brake pedal, and keep your ankle firm. When you press down on the brake, the right side of your foot is going to touch the gas pedal, because it has nowhere else to go. Now roll your entire leg by moving your knee to the right. That will roll the right side of your your foot into the gas pedal. You already know that you only need a slight little blip, so there's no contortion at all. Also, since you're keeping your ankle firm using just upper leg muscles for everything, you will feel very strong on the brake.
