Yah it is very slow to move. If you get stuck this way again, flip the lever on the extruder, which will release tension on the filament, and push the filament to the hot end. You can do this while it is in the state of waiting to extrude. Close the lever again. It'll extrude shortly after.
Best hint I got for feeding is to cut the filament at an angle. It makes feeding much easier. I find I want to see about 5 cm/2 " worth of filament in the tube when it prompts me to feed the filament. This minimizes the wait for the extrusion.
