This confused me as well when I first started using Trac. A few years back 
I raised a ticket for the issue that drove a change that I had hoped would 
make this more clear:
http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8484

When you are creating a ticket, you are setting the owner, not assigning 
it. That was the thing I wanted to have clarified in #8484. What version of 
Trac are you using? The change in #8484 was applied in version 0.12.

I'm fairly sure that, although the workflow can be customized as hasienda 
has described, the initial state must be new. The workflow is constrained 
to have 'new' and 'closed' states, and the initial state of the ticket must 
be new.

 If you don't have an 'assign' action, then you'll need to modify your 
workflow as hasienda has described. The default workflow in Trac has an 
assign action.
