I just wait until the rpm's settle and drive slow until oil temps start rising.
For example I drove in to work today and morning temps were 33 degrees. I let the car idle for about 45 seconds until the rpm settled and kept it under 4k until engine temps reached 180. Only took about 5 mins. When its warmer I do the same, but obviously the oil temps will reach 180 a lot sooner.
