When you use the bezier tweener, you normally should go and tweak
the in and out values. That usually helps especially if keys are
close to each other.
Other method is to add two keys very close to each other and change
the tweener between them to linear.
Problems with tweeners is the very reason that many of the more
animation minded keep asking for true function curves over and over
again on this list. They would give you the visual presentation and
editability for locking the foot down.
