If your car keeps creeping forward with the clutch pedal pressed, this shows the clutch to be dragging, needing adjustment (or you need to press the pedal down further) so it releases drive completely between the engine and transmission. The dragging condition needs to be fixed because it will wear the clutch faster than usual and damage the transmission every time you change gear. Until then, you can hold the car stopped at the line using the hand-operated parking/emergency brake (releasing it as you lift your foot off the clutch pedal to go).

Keep in place with the hand-operated Handbrake or Emergency Brake, as you Americans call it.
