You could always do it the simple way - enter first couple of waypoints (it depends on the distance and speed you'll have) on the ground and then the rest when the workload permits - either when stabilized and trimmed in climb or in cruise. I really see no real advantage of having ALL waypoints of a flight plan entered in the GPS during the takeoff and initial climb - unless you can enter them without depleting the aircraft battery or idling on the ground.
