Double clutching is used for operating a "crash-box" in other words, a gear box that has un-synchronized gears. Since all cars I know of these days have synced boxes, it is a useless technique, there is no reason to do it, unless you want to waste time or are driving a very large truck.
Basically, you press the clutch, put the gearbox in neutral, release the clutch, press the clutch again and then put it into gear.
