Give it more gas. The A/C puts an extra bit of load on the engine. It's probably already trying to fight the heat and idle properly, so when you move off, you need to give it more throttle to counterbalance the heat outside, the load of the A/C and the tendency for the heat to play havoc with the car's low rpm operation. What I'm trying to say is that you were likely lugging the engine.
