Second Gear

Anyone find second gear to be really 'snatchy' i.e. you feel your not in control of the car? I always tend to find this when I turn in somewhere. It seems like the driver has to do an awful lot of work with the clutch! When you gently ease your foot off the clutch the car almost leaps forward uncontrollably! I also found this when waiting in a queue of traffic on the motorway in second. The car idles along quite quickly which pretty much forces you to change up to first so you feel your actually in control of the car again! Interested to hear your thoughts on this.
