I haven't driven a whole lot of cars and none of them were old as dirt pickup trucks but I've seen enough where the idle gas was not enough to get the car rolling on an incline without stalling it. Sometimes you just need a good handbrake start

The car doesn't need to start rolling. You need just enough clutch to keep from rolling backwards.
