Yes have the key in the run position. Then push the car as fast as possible or coast down a hill. then put in in 1st and dump the clutch. The car will buck, and start.
You do not need any charge in the battery. If the battery is dead it will start easier, if you disconnect the battery.

If the vehicle's battery is severely discharged, the push starting technique can be unsuccessful, as the battery may not be able to provide sufficient voltage for the ignition system to function (or in the case of a diesel engine, to preheat the glow plugs, although this will not generally prevent starting altogether but just make it much more difficult). Also vehicles with an electronic engine management system will not start if the battery does not provide sufficient voltage to operate it. In such cases, recharging the battery or attempting a jump start is a better option.
