start the car, going to be cranking forever to get some pressure pulling the fuse. its building pressure from rpms and the veins moving, idle is alot more rpms then cranking.
thats whole point of a good assembly lube to protect the engine till pressure builds
if it matters that much to you the proper way would be to plumb in a accusump and use a compressor to pressurize it, but a good assembly lube is just as good.

I used an accusump and plumbed it in from my turbo oil line connection to prime mine many years ago. when i didnt feel like doing that, i would just unplug the injectors or pump and then crank like normal. Remove all the spark plugs so that there is no compression and the engine can crank faster. If you have an oil cooler, its best if you prefill it and your filter otherwise it will take forever when just cranking off the starter.
