Never force the gear in. EVER
Always rev match. If you are idling, you should try reverse first, then try first. I sometimes put it in second, then first with the clutch held in the whole time. Forcing the gear on the car is just asking for trouble.

I also sometimes give the engine a bit of gas to ease it into first at a stop. How old is your tranny fluid? MIght wanna look into that if you haven't changed it in a bit.
