Proposed recipe:

1. Tighten your description a bit to "partition a list into sublists  
that start with an instance of a particular value".

2. Note that Partition is not well suited to this task. Browse "See  
Also" near the bottom of help on Partition.

3. Split looks good. Try it:

list={1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0}

Split[list, #1 != 1 &]

4. Fiddle with the ends, depending upon your particular needs (not  
yet clear to me).
