We do this quite often on part 91 trips. If you are leaving an uncontrolled field, and there is another IFR airplane that is coming in or leaving with a clearance before you, you'll be forced to wait on the ground until they've either cancelled or they've been radar identified. If you can get out VFR, you won't be required to wait on the ground (obviously). Don't punch into the class B above, but if you can call for a clearance about 3-400 feet after takeoff, you'll probably be fine. Should sound like this, "Dallas approach, N12345, just off of Visual Field IFR to Oklahoma City." They'll usually just come back with a squawk code by itself. Easy enough to copy. Once you've been given a code, you'll be radar identified and then given a clearance. The only problem would be if you couldn't get a word in on the frequency. If that is the case, you'll be responsible to stay out of the class B until you can.
