I don't know if you have the little speed bumps showing on the 
timeline. I do not. too distracting.
  At any rate, If you are going to do it that way, after you select the 
variable speed parameter
you could open the clip from the timeline into the viewer, go to the 
motion tab and keyframe the
variable speed. I think this would give the type of effects you 
describe a chance. In this context jumping to the beginning ( at least 
when it actually jumps to the beginning of the selected edit) might be 
of value.
