If you have a 6MT, then the brake pedal is completely irrelevant. You don't need to touch it at all to start the car. All you have to do is push the clutch to the floor and touch the button.

Let me ask you this: if instead of trying it keyless, you insert the key in the ignition, and only push in the clutch (don't touch the brakes) does it start up? It certainly should. If you are finding you need to use the brake, there's definitely something wacky with your car.
