Something else to try...

To practice rolling in simulated real life conditions, rolling without 
setting up (paddling backwards and capsizing is a good one to try) is a 
good idea but it's also a good idea to do something other than sit there 
are you've rolled up.  Try rolling and then take several hard forward 
strokes after you're up.  Try rolling then doing a deep high brace on the 
other side (or same side) after your up.  Try rolling up and paddling hard 
in reverse after you're up.  Presumably, in real life conditions something 
has knocked you over and likely the first thing you're going to after 
rolling up is get away from whatever knocked you over in the first place.
