I usually set it holding short, you can do it anytime but you have to remember to do the runway update.
Had a captain show me this trick... Hit TOGA, move up one click on pitch wheel, then put your thumb at the top and go all the way down twice. This will set 10 degrees every time and you can do it taking the runway.
