Good answers so far and they all, I think, assumed that you are at a standstill when that happens. If that is true, then the best solution is to shift into 1st gear just BEFORE you come to a complete stop.

If, OTOH, you are having trouble getting into 1st while you are still moving......then yes, you probably have too much slack in your clutch cable; adjustment is easy, right there near the clutch lever, under that rubber boot.
